Health Canada is recalling a T&T-branded organic roasted black soybean product from the marketplace because it may contain milk, which the company didn’t declare on the label.
The health department’s website said it triggered the recall on Nov. 7 after test results from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) detected the ingredient, an allergen for some consumers.
While the testing found milk, Health Canada said it has not received any reports from consumers experiencing negative reactions to the product.
The department’s website said the CFIA is continuing to conduct a food safety investigation into the product while verifying that the industry is removing the products from the marketplace.
Health Canada said the T&T-branded 300-gram Organic Roasted Black Soybeans were sold in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. The UPC was 7 76703 33812 1, while the code numbers were 2027JA26, 2027JN09, and 2027JN10.
The health agency said consumers who have purchased this product should check whether it is the recalled version. If it is, they should not consume the items if they are allergic or sensitive, since the product may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction.
Consumers should also not serve, use, sell, or distribute the recalled products, and instead, should throw them out or return them to where they were purchased.
Health Canada has issued recalls for similar problems in products in the past two months.
The agency issued a recall on Sept. 28 about a Nutraphase-brand Clean Beans Roasted Broad Beans Ketchup flavour due to undeclared milk ingredients in the product.
The products were sold online nationally and came in 85-gram bags that were best before July 18, 2027, in the lot NECA2507G.
Also, the agency issued a recall on Sept. 24 about Go! Beanz-brand Roasted Broadbeans (Ketchup and Salt & Pepper flavours) due to undeclared milk products.
The 28-gram bags were sold in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec, with the ketchup flavour having a best-before date of June 14, 2028, in the lot of JSCA26005 and UPC of 9 90313 51500 4, and the salt and pepper having a best-before date of May 21, 2028, in the lot of JSCA26004 and UPC of 6 28678 44082 8.
Health Canada added that consumers could visit its website to learn more about common food allergies, to register for recall notifications by email, to follow the agency on social media, to view detailed explanations of the food safety investigation and recall process, and to report a food safety or labelling concern.
