A brand of halva sold in British Columbia is being recalled for possible salmonella contamination.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said the recall involves Shaikh Al Kar brand Plain Halva, sold in B.C. in 400-gram packages with a best-before date of Aug. 25, 2026.
The same product with best before date of Feb. 4, 2027, was recalled in several other provinces in late August.
The CFIA said it’s conducting a food safety investigation, which could lead to further recalls.
Consumers are advised to throw out the recalled product or return it to the store where it was purchased.
The agency warned that food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness.
Infections can be particularly serious and sometimes deadly for young children, pregnant people, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
