The CFIA is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to identify and remove all affected products imported into Canada from the U.S. The CFIA will also work as needed with Canadian manufacturers to recall foods containing affected U.S. ingredients. As more products are identified, the CFIA will continue to update its list of recalled products.

The following food products, manufactured in the United States of America, are affected by this alert:

Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.

The Canadian companies are voluntarily recalling the affected products from the marketplace. The CFIA will monitor the effectiveness of the recalls.
