A popular brand of chicken burgers sold in Canada are being pulled from shelves. Leadbetter Foods Inc. issued a recall for Compliments’ Smashed 100% Chicken Burgers due to an allergen risk over undeclared egg, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced Thursday. “Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product,” the notice said. The affected products came in 680-gram packages (eight 85-gram chicken patties) and can be identified by its universal product code: 0 55742 58333 5. The notice did not mention if any allergic reactions had been reported. The CFIA assigned the notice as a Class II recall, meaning “there is a moderate risk” consuming the affected products may lead to “short-term or non-life threatening health problems.” Consumers with questions or concerns can reach out to the CFIA by telephone at 1-613-773-2342 or by email at information@inspection.gc.ca.
