RELATED: Salmonella concerns prompt more food recalls in Canada

According to a notice issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), Organic Traditions brand Jumbo Pumpkin Seeds have been recalled from stores across the country due to potential contamination with Salmonella.

The recall affects two package sizes—227 g and 454 g—with specific lot codes sold nationally. The CFIA says the recall was triggered by a similar action in another country and is part of an ongoing food safety investigation.

No illnesses linked to the products have been reported in Canada.

Consumers are urged not to consume, sell, or distribute the recalled seeds. Contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause serious health issues. Salmonella infection can lead to fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Vulnerable groups—including children, seniors, pregnant individuals, and those with compromised immune systems—are at higher risk of severe outcomes.

The affected products include:

Organic Traditions Jumbo Pumpkin Seeds (227 g)
UPC: 6 27733 00175 5
Lot codes: L250212160 and L250319170

Organic Traditions Jumbo Pumpkin Seeds (454 g)
UPC: 6 27733 00180 9
Lot code: L250319171

Consumers who have these products should dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase. The CFIA is monitoring the situation and verifying that affected items are being removed from store shelves.

The recalling firm is Advantage Health Matters.
