There’s an active recall on a popular Taylor Farms salad kit sold in Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). This is due to a sample positively testing for Salmonella bacteria, meaning the foodborne illness could be in consumers’ homes.
The Taylor Farms salad affected is their Sweet Kale Chopped Kit sold at grocery stores in the following provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. The impacted salads have a UPC of “8 24862 00644 0” as well as a best-by date of December 6, 2024, printed on the bag.
If your salad kit matches the recall information, throw it away or return it to your place of purchase for a refund. Salmonella infection (commonly known as salmonellosis) can be especially harmful for young children, people aged 65 or older, those who are pregnant and for immunocompromised individuals. Common symptoms include fever, headache, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea. If you are experiencing any of these signs after consuming the recalled salad, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
