not well enough) before making the guacamole. Within 3 hours of making and eating the guacamole I began having severe stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. I also felt as if I might have diarrhea but I couldn't (possibly due to previous two days of fasting with no food and no water). I am 100% certain it was from the guacamole as everything else that I had eaten earlier that day my children also ate and they did not get sick (they did not eat the guacamole).  | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Cramps

Boulangerie Laurentide, a Quebec-based company, has issued a recall for its ketchup products due to the undeclared presence of mustard. The recall affects all batches of the product distributed at their establishment located at 321, rue Félix-Antoine-Savard, in Les Éboulements. The issue was discovered during routine checks … See More
by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ). As of now, no cases of allergic reactions associated with the consumption of these foods have been reported to MAPAQ.

The recall includes the "Fruit Ketchup" and "Green Tomato Ketchup" products. Both products are sold in unitary format glass jars with metal lids. The recall applies to all batches that do not include the mention of the presence of mustard on the label.

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.

In case you experience harm from allergens or undeclared ingredients, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
