Canada govt recalls 2 nut-related products in Ontario over possible Salmonella contamination; here’s what you need to know about the warning

Canada issued a recall warning on Friday (December 19, 2025) for two nut-related products sold in Ontario due to possible Salmonella contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said that the recall covers two products, Arnie’s All Natural Raw Mix Nuts and Arnie’s Sweet and Savoury Mix, both sold from November 1 to December 2, 2025.

The recalled products were sold and distributed from several locations in Barrie, Brampton, and Vaughan. According to The Canadian Press, the CFIA said that the recall decision was taken following standard inspection activities, and no one has reported to have been sickened from consuming the nut products.

In the Canadian government release, consumers are asked not to eat the affected products but to either discard them or return them to the point of purchase.


The CFIA warns that salmonella-contaminated products may not look or smell spoiled but can make people ill, with people with weakened immune systems, young children, and pregnant women especially vulnerable to serious infections.

What consumers need to know

• According to the CFIA, if you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider.
• Check to see if you have recalled products.
• Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products.
• Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.

CFIA warning

The CFIA has also warned that food contaminated with Salmonella may not appear or smell spoiled, but it can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.

The agency has also stated that healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
