The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for Legends Haul brand Chicken Pesto Parm Sausage after tests revealed the presence of wheat that wasn’t declared on the product label. This recall specifically affects products sold in British Columbia.
The affected product is packaged in a 344g clear plastic casing with a black label and carries the UPC code 8 75127 00031 4 and product code PKD24DE12.
Health Risks
This recall is particularly important for people with wheat allergies, gluten sensitivities, or celiac disease. Consuming products with undeclared wheat ingredients can cause serious health problems for these individuals.
For people with wheat allergies, exposure could trigger severe allergic reactions, potentially including life-threatening anaphylaxis. Those with celiac disease face risks of intestinal damage and long-term health complications from gluten consumption.
“Do not consume recalled products to which you are allergic or sensitive as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction,” warns the CFIA in their statement.
