Dubai chocolate recalled by CFIA due to possible salmonella contamination
A type of chocolate that gained viral fame thanks to gushing reviews on social media is being recalled over salmonella concerns. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a recall notice for the Dubai brand pistachio and knafeh milk chocolate distributed in Quebec and sold online. This type of milk chocolate bar is filled with a pistachio cream and crunchy pieces of knafeh, a delectable combination that drew attention online several years ago and spawned many reviews on food blogs. The federal agency says it discovered the potential contamination in some affected products during a food safety investigation, and no illnesses have been reported. The CFIA says it is verifying that the industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace, and advising consumers not to eat it. Salmonella is a food-borne bacterial illness that can spread several days or weeks after a person is infected, even if they don't have symptoms. It can result in severe and potentially deadly infections, particularly for children, pregnant people, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, cramps and diarrhea. The notice says the recalling firm was Distribution Bonbons JJ Candy.
