Goodfood Meatball Meals Recalled in Quebec Over Undeclared Egg and Sesame

GoodFood Corp is recalling two Goodfood brand meatball meal products from the Quebec and online marketplace because they contain undeclared egg and sesame, allergens that were not listed on the product labels. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) published the notice on July 20, 2026, warning that people with allergies or sensitivities to egg or sesame should not consume the affected meals.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers two Goodfood brand meatball meal kits distributed online and in Quebec:

• ‘Middle Eastern-Style Pork Meatballs with Orzo and Roasted Vegetables’ – 405 g – Best Before 26JL12
• ‘Teriyaki Beef Meatballs with Carrots, Edamame and Rice’ – 425 g – Best Before 26JL12

Both products were sold with the identification number RA-82368 and are classified by CFIA as a Class 2 recall.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was triggered because the affected meatball meals contain egg and sesame seeds that were not declared on the product packaging. For individuals with an allergy to egg or sesame, consuming these undeclared allergens can trigger reactions ranging from hives and gastrointestinal distress to severe, potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. Because the ingredients were missing from the label entirely, allergic consumers would have no way of knowing the products posed a risk to them.

Who Is Affected?

The recall affects consumers in Quebec and those who purchased the products online through Goodfood’s distribution channels. Anyone with an egg or sesame allergy or intolerance who has purchased either of the two identified meatball meals with the Best Before 26JL12 code is at risk and should take immediate action.

What Should You Do?

Consumers who have purchased the affected Goodfood meatball meals should not use, sell, serve or distribute them. Check your freezer or refrigerator for the ‘Middle Eastern-Style Pork Meatballs with Orzo and Roasted Vegetables’ (405 g) and ‘Teriyaki Beef Meatballs with Carrots, Edamame and Rice’ (425 g) with the Best Before 26JL12 code. If you have either product, discard it or return it to the place of purchase. If you or someone in your household has consumed the product and experienced an allergic reaction, contact a health care provider.
