Reason for recall
Recall was initiated after CFIA notified FDA of implicated products sold to the firm. During a FDA visit, the firm discovered that they were selling product that were recalled in Canada by the manufacturer, "Pro-Amino International Inc." because it may be contaminated with Salmonella. Upon further FDA investigation at the firm product was further distributed to a consignee in Canada.
Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
