Popular granola bar brand recalled across Canada due to ‘metal pieces’

It added that it has “addressed the source of the issue,” and there have been no injury reports.

This isn’t the only food item that was recently recalled to traces of metal.

On December 4, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that it recalled several brands of bagels due to “extraneous material.” The recall is in effect for Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, and Ontario.

“Various brands of bagels recalled due to pieces of metal,” stated the CFIA. “This recall is linked to Sifto brand Hy·Grade Salt recalled due to pieces of metal, as the affected salt was used to make these recalled products.”
