The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recalled a brand of tahini distributed across Alberta due to possible salmonella contamination.

Mahrousa brand tahini was recalled on Wednesday after CFIA tests confirmed the contamination. There have been no reported illnesses from this product so far, according to the agency’s news release.

The brand’s recalling firm, Jabbour Export/Import Ltd., is an Edmonton-based company.

A food safety investigation is now underway. The CFIA advises Albertans to check for the product in their home and throw it away or return it where they first purchased it.
