Dollarama is recalling one of its popular dessert items due to potential contamination.

The recall, published by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) last week, was for Biskwi brand Waffles with Chocolaty Filling. According to the alert, 180-gram packages of the dessert with best before dates between April 21 and May 12, 2026 were recalled “due to mould.”

“Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product,” the agency says on its website, adding that the snack is sold nationally.

The recall falls under Class 3, according to the CFIA, which denotes products that pose a low risk of undesirable health outcomes when consumed.

This is the second recall Dollarama has issued this year for a food product. The first came in June, when Snowtime brand Berry Ice Smoothie Pops were recalled due to undeclared milk.

That recall fell under the CFIA’s Class 2, indicating “a moderate risk that consuming the food may lead to short-term or non-life-threatening health problems.”

Other recent food recalls in Canada include certain brands of pistachios and other products that contain the nuts, some of which have been found to contain salmonella. Recalls have been issued for products sold in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta.
