Broccoli florets recalled in six provinces over salmonella risk

A nationwide recall of broccoli due to the risk of salmonella leads MedicalWatch for Dec. 1, 2025.

A brand of broccoli florets sold in six provinces has been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says the recall affects florets sold under Your Fresh Market and distributed in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec.

The agency is urging consumers not to consume, use, sell, serve or distribute the product. It says no illnesses have been reported in connection with the broccoli.

The CFIA warns that food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness.

“Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections,” it says. “Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.”

Consumers who think they became sick after eating the recalled broccoli should contact a healthcare provider. The CFIA urges people to check their fridges and freezers and throw out any affected products or return them to the store where they were purchased.

The CFIA is continuing its food safety investigation, which may lead to additional recalls. The agency is also verifying that the industry is removing the affected broccoli from the marketplace.
