Dollarama is recalling a garlic powder product sold across Canada following a notice from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Multiple outlets report that the product is “Heavenly Spices Garlic Powder.” The CFIA links the recall to the possible presence of Bacillus cereus, a bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. Reported potential symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea.
The recall is issued as a precaution because the bacteria may be present in the spice and could lead to gastrointestinal illness if consumed. Both reports characterize the concern as a contamination risk rather than a specific incident affecting consumers.
Consumers are advised to follow CFIA guidance regarding recalled products, which typically includes not consuming the item and checking the recall notice for details such as affected lot or batch information and instructions for returns. The CFIA notice serves as the primary source for the recall parameters and public health advice.
