A recall of tartlets in Canada is being conducted as part of an investigation into a Salmonella outbreak. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is reporting that D. Effe T.
brand Lemon Delight and Tartlet with Forest Fruits are under recall because of their link to a Salmonella illness. The recall is related to a larger outbreak of Salmonella illnesses linked to other recalled dessert items . The dessert items were distributed in Ontario.
Consumers are urged to not consume the products. Retailers are under order to not sell the products. Some of the products may have been sold clerk-served or in smaller packages, with or without a label that may not bear the same brand, product name, or best before date.
There is concern that consumers may have unused portions of the recalled desserts in their homes because of their long shelf life, which extends into November 2025. Consumers can identify the packaged desserts by looking for the following label information: About Salmonella infections Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell, or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection.
Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile. Anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis.
Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis. Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days.
In some cases, however, diarrhea may be so severe that patients require hospitalization. Older adults, children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions. Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms.
However, they may still spread the infections to others. (To sign up for a free subscription to Food Safety News, click here).
