Undeclared Milk Allergen Triggers Recall of Go! Beanz Roasted Broadbeans

Consumers with milk allergies in New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec are being warned to check their pantries after Go! Beanz brand Roasted Broadbeans were pulled from shelves for containing undeclared milk. The recall, issued through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) on behalf of Health Canada, covers two flavors of the popular roasted broadbean snack: Ketchup and Salt & Pepper.

The affected packages are 28-gram bags sold at retail. Because milk is a recognized priority allergen, its presence in a product that does not list it on the label can pose a serious health risk to anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance who is not expecting to encounter it.

The recall applies specifically to the following items, identified by their best-before dates, lot codes and UPCs:

Why Was This Recall Issued?

According to the CFIA notice, the issue is classified as a food allergen concern involving milk that was not declared on the product label. The recall was initiated by the recalling firm, Jimmy Sevigny Inc., and was assigned Recall Class 3 by the agency, along with the identification number RA-82667 and CFIA reference number 17541. The recall was dated September 22, 2026, and the notification was published on September 25, 2026.

Undeclared allergens are among the most common reasons for food recalls in Canada. Even trace amounts of milk protein that end up in a product without appearing on the ingredient list can trigger reactions ranging from mild discomfort to more serious allergic responses in sensitive individuals.

Where Were These Products Sold?

The CFIA notice lists the distribution of the affected Roasted Broadbeans as limited to three provinces: New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec. The audience for the alert is described as retail, meaning the products reached grocery and convenience store shelves in those regions rather than being sold exclusively online or through a single channel.

Anyone who purchased Go! Beanz Roasted Broadbeans in Ketchup or Salt & Pepper flavors within these provinces should treat the product as potentially affected until they have confirmed the lot code against the list above.

What Should You Do?

Health Canada and the CFIA advise that consumers who have a milk allergy or sensitivity should not eat the recalled Roasted Broadbeans. Retailers, distributors and food service operators that may still have stock on hand are instructed not to sell, serve or distribute the affected packages.

Practical steps for consumers include the following:

• Check any Go! Beanz Roasted Broadbeans in Ketchup or Salt & Pepper flavors against the lot codes and best-before dates listed in this notice.
• Do not consume the product if you or a household member has a milk allergy.
• Dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase.
• Watch for any allergic symptoms if the product has already been consumed, and seek medical attention if a reaction occurs.

Businesses that sold or distributed the product are expected to remove remaining stock from sale immediately in line with the CFIA notice.

From the Agency

The CFIA notice confirms this is a Class 3 recall, the agency’s designation for situations where the probability of adverse health consequences is generally considered low but where corrective action is still warranted because the labeling failed to disclose a recognized allergen. The recall was published under the food category covering candy, confectionery, snacks and sweeteners.
