Recall notice
Quebec-based company, Traiteur La Marguerite located at 6630 Côte Saint Luc Road, Montreal, QC, Canada, has issued a recall for various salad dressings and harira soup due to the undeclared presence of wheat (gluten), eggs, and sulphites. The recall was announced in collaboration with the Ministry of

The affected products are:
- Balsamic Vinaigrette (Sulphites) / 16oz
- Asian Dressing (Wheat and Sulphites) / 16oz
- Cesar Dressing (Eggs and Sulphites) / 16oz
- Harira Soup (Eggs and Wheat) / Unitary
All batches of these products, which do not include mention of the allergens on their labels, are being recalled.

Taco Bell, North Cleveland Avenue, North Fort Myers, FL, USA

Last Tuesday on March 26 I ate at Taco Bell. The next day I got diarrhea. It’s been going on for a week now. Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach cramps. I ended up with a stomach virus. Either it was the food. Or some MF making the food
spreading disease. This has never happened to me before, even at Taco Bell. But it is also concerning that other people have reported the same symptoms from the same location.

Had company this afternoon so I ordered some pizza from this store. When I got the food home, I noticed that in the medium mushroom and onion pizza, there was a large sliver of cardboard in it. Within 2 hours of consuming, myself and my mother both
developed stomach cramps, nauseated all day, and my mother did attempt to vomit. My child wasn't as bad, but had cramping occasionally throughout the day as well. I will be calling the store in the morning and reporting this.
