Walter Candiac, has issued a recall for various terrines due to the product have not been kept in the refrigerator at all times since the time of purchase. As of now, no illnesses related... See More to the consumption of these products have been reported.

    The products in question are the "Terrine Bison, Choco et Porto", "Terrine Lapin Noisettes Amaretto", and "Terrine Sanglier Bleuet Cidre de Glace". These were sold in individual glass jars with metal lids, and were available for sale until March 15, 2024. The recall was initiated due to the absence of the required "Keep Refrigerated" label, which is mandatory.

    People who have one of these products in their possession and who have not kept it refrigerated at all times since the time of purchase are advised not to consume it. They must return it to the establishment where they purchased it.

    If you or a loved one are harmed or experiencing any symptoms, it is important to report it. Reporting can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
