Health Warning in Canada After Tahini Product Recall Due to Possible Contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced the recall of a tahini product from Canadian markets after a potential Salmonella contamination was detected, in an effort to protect public health and prevent any health risks from consumption.
The CFIA confirmed that the affected tahini is sold in 800-gram packages under the “Mahrousa” brand, with expiration dates up to June 23, 2026, and should not be consumed, served, sold, or distributed in any form.
Consumers are advised to check their homes for this product and either dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase. The agency warned that Salmonella-contaminated foods may not show visible signs of spoilage but can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, and vomiting, and can be more severe for young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals.
No cases of illness linked to this product have been reported so far, but the CFIA emphasized the importance of caution until all affected packages are removed from Canadian markets to ensure consumer safety.
