The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for Palm Bites brand date squares due to potential Salmonella contamination.
The affected products were primarily distributed in Ontario and online, but they may have also been sold in other provinces and territories.
The recalled products were sold in packs of three date squares, with the original and chocolate flavors affected. All units produced between October 8, 2024, and February 14, 2025, are included in the recall.
Consumers who have these products should dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
Anyone who believes they have fallen ill after consuming these date squares should contact their healthcare provider.
It’s important to note that foods contaminated with Salmonella do not always show visible signs of spoilage or have an unusual odor but can still cause illness.
Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at risk of severe and sometimes fatal infections.
For healthy individuals, salmonellosis can cause short-term symptoms such as fever, headaches, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. The infection can also lead to long-term complications, including a severe form of arthritis.
