Federal officials in Canada have expanded a recall of baked goods due to Salmonella contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) have issued notices regarding additional Lemon Delight and Tartlet with Forest Fruits products from various brands, particularly those distributed in Ontario. The recall stems from an ongoing investigation that began in mid-December 2024 after reports of a Salmonella outbreak linked to Sweet Cream brand mini pastries served at catered events.
OTTAWA — Federal food safety and public health officials have added more baked goods sold and distributed in Ontario to an ongoing investigation into Salmonella contamination.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency added that the recall affects products with best-before dates up to and including December 11, 2025. The agency added that the products “may have been sold clerk-served or in smaller packages, with or without a label that may not bear the same brand, product name, or best before date.”
The investigation was launched after the agency started detecting the outbreak in mid-December 2024 when it received signals from laboratories across the country, said April Hexemer, the director of the outbreak management division at the Public Health Agency of Canada. By then, she added, it had been detected in a couple of provinces.
Most of the individuals had attended catered events, she said, adding they had eaten "fancy desserts."
