Health Canada has announced the recall of a turkey gravy brand sold across the country due to the presence of undeclared mustard, which poses a serious risk to individuals with mustard allergies.
The recall affects a specific batch of the product, which has not been named in the announcement. Consumers are advised to check their kitchens for the affected gravy and to avoid consuming it.
Mustard is one of the top allergens in Canada, and its presence in food products must be clearly indicated on labels to ensure consumer safety. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the product contained mustard that was not listed in the ingredients.
Health Canada is urging anyone who has purchased the affected turkey gravy to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. They also recommend that consumers with mustard allergies or sensitivities avoid the product entirely.
As of now, there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of the recalled gravy. However, Health Canada emphasizes the importance of food safety and encourages consumers to remain vigilant when checking food labels.
For further information, consumers can visit the Health Canada website or contact the retailer where the product was purchased.
