OneTang Walnut Soft Candy Recalled in Canada Over Stones

A batch of OneTang brand Walnut Soft Candy with Black Sesame is being pulled from store shelves in Manitoba and Ontario after inspectors flagged the presence of stones in the product. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency published the notification on August 21, 2026, listing it as a Class 3 recall tied to an extraneous material hazard.

The recalled candy was imported and distributed by Hua Men Trading Co., Ltd. and sold at retail locations in the two affected provinces. Anyone who purchased the product is being urged to check their pantry against the details below.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers a single item: OneTang brand Walnut Soft Candy with Black Sesame, sold in 160 g packages. The affected UPC is 6 954427 522321, with a best before date of 2027/MAY/02 printed on the packaging. No other sizes or flavors are named in the notice.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The CFIA classified this as a ‘Food – Extraneous Material’ issue, meaning stones were discovered in the soft candy. Biting into or swallowing a stone embedded in candy can pose a choking hazard and may also cause dental injury, such as cracked or broken teeth. The agency assigned this a Class 3 designation, its lowest recall severity tier, which is generally used when the health risk is considered remote but still worth flagging to consumers.

The recall was dated August 20, 2026, and the notice carries the identification number RA-82522, with a CFIA reference ID of 17507.

Who Is Affected?

According to the notice, distribution was limited to a retail audience in Manitoba and Ontario. Consumers in those provinces who bought this specific lot of candy are the ones directly impacted, though the CFIA notice does not rule out the possibility that further distribution details could emerge.

What Should You Do?

Health Canada and the CFIA are advising a simple course of action for anyone holding the affected candy.

• Do not eat the recalled Walnut Soft Candy with Black Sesame.
• Do not sell, serve, or distribute the product if you are a retailer.
• Check the package for the 160 g size, the UPC 6 954427 522321, and the best before date of 2027/MAY/02.
• Dispose of or return the product according to store policy, or contact the retailer where it was purchased for guidance.
