What Triggered the Recall

The recall was issued because the product contains pea protein that does not appear in the declared ingredients. Under the government notice, the issue is categorized as Food – Allergen – Other.

Undeclared allergens are a recurring cause of food recalls in Canada. A person who is allergic or sensitive to peas relies on the ingredient list to decide whether a product is safe to eat. When an ingredient is missing from the label, that person cannot make an informed choice, and an allergic reaction becomes possible.

The CFIA notice does not describe how the pea protein came to be in the product, and it does not report any illnesses or reactions linked to it. The agency classified the recall as Class 3, which is the lowest of its three recall classes.

Where Were These Products Sold?

According to the notice, the product was distributed online and in the following provinces and territories:

• Alberta
• British Columbia
• New Brunswick
• Ontario
• Quebec
• Yukon

Because online distribution is included, buyers outside those regions may also want to check any SLY freeze-dried meals they have at home. The notice lists the audience as retail.

Freeze-dried meals are designed for long storage, which matters here. The best before date on the affected lot is July 30, 2031, so packages bought some time ago may still be sitting in pantries, emergency kits, camping supplies or storage closets.

Steps Consumers Should Take

The advice in the official notice is short and direct: do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product. In practice, that means the following.

• Look at the 145 g package of SLY Freeze-dried Potato Bourguignon and find the lot number and best before date.
• If the package shows lot 280726 and a best before date of 2031.07.30, do not prepare or eat it.
• If anyone in your household has a pea allergy or sensitivity, keep the product well away from them.
• Retailers, online sellers and food service operators should pull the product from sale and from any meal service.
• Contact the CFIA through the public enquiries line if you have questions about the recall.

If you have eaten the product and develop symptoms you think are related to an allergic reaction, seek medical advice. The notice does not provide refund or return instructions, so anyone who wants a refund should contact the place of purchase or the recalling firm, SLY Foods Inc.
