Quebec's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ), in collaboration with Montreal's Food Inspection Division and Viande Continental, has issued a recall for various soups, salads, and dips due to missing safety information and undeclared allergens. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the product … See More
labels did not contain the necessary safety information, such as the words "Keep refrigerated". Additionally, the salads and dips were found to contain undeclared allergens, posing a risk to consumers with allergies to mustard or eggs. The products were sold only at Viande Continental, located at 5619, avenue du Parc, in Montreal. No cases of illness or allergic reactions have been reported to date.

The products in question include all formats of "Zucchini Soup" and "Beef Mushroom Barley" that lack the label "Keep Refrigerated". The recall also extends to several salads and dips, including "Cole Slaw", "Creamy Jalapeno", "Creamy Olives", "Hot Pepper Dip", "Jalapeno Dip", "Potato Salad", "Sesame Dip", and "Shallot Dip". These products contain mustard and eggs, which are not declared on the label.

The products that are the subject of this warning were offered for sale only at the establishment listed above. Soups were packaged in a glass jar with a metal lid, while salads and dips were packaged in a clear plastic container. All of these products were sold refrigerated. The label of the products included, in addition to their name, the mention « Continental Meat & Deli ».

Do not consume recalled products to which you are allergic or sensitive as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction; and do not serve, use, sell or distribute recalled products. The company is recalling the products as a precautionary measure.
