The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has added several Peace by Chocolate and NuttyHero products to its ongoing recall of pistachios possibly contaminated with salmonella.

The latest recall published on Friday includes Peace by Chocolate bars and assorted chocolates sold across Canada.

They may have been sold individually or as part of a variety pack.

The affected products include Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio and Kunafa Bar, The Peace Maker Specialty Bars, Trans Canada Trail — Peace Seeker, the Classic Box, the Proudly Canadian box and assorted filled chocolates.

Some of the Peace by Chocolate products appear to be custom labelled for companies, including TD, Dexterra, First Onsite Property Restoration and Tri-County Regional Centre for Education.

Local chocolatier describes impact of pistachio recall on business

Recent pistachio recalls are impacting businesses in Ottawa. Pistachio Choco’s owner and chocolatier says he’s constantly dealing with concerned customers.

The food inspection agency also added NuttyHero nut and seed butters — including maple cinnamon, coconut crunch and chocolate bliss flavours — to the recall list on Friday.

Hundreds of pistachios and pistachio-containing products have been recalled in Canada in recent months.

People who think they might have recalled products should throw them out and contact a health-care provider if they have become sick.

Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you ill.

Symptoms can include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

Young children, pregnant women, seniors and people with weakened immune symptoms are especially at risk of serious illness.
