Salmonella triggers berry mix recall

There is a nation-wide recall of Europe’s Best brand Field Berry Mixes.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Hain Celestial Canada, ULC, has issued the recall because of potential contamination with food-poisoning salmonella.

There have been no reported illnesses in Canada, the CFIA said.

On its website, the company which is based in Toronto says “each co-packer is GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certified, meaning they must pass a comprehensive food safety audit in order to be eligible to handle any of our Europe’s Best product.  

“In addition, our Quality Team also conducts an internal audit that focuses solely on meeting our Europe’s Best specification. 

“This allows full transparency as we continue to develop close relationships with our growers, co-packers and brokers.”
