5 products you can no longer buy in Canada
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has warned citizens about dangerous goods on Canadian store shelves.
Taking care of the population is an important part of the authorities' social policy. This is why the Canadian Food Inspection Agency regularly audits the products it sells and provides a list of products and goods that are hazardous to health.
Goods in Canada are not very cheap, so you should choose carefully and buy wisely.
If items on the list have already been purchased, you can return them to the store and get your money back or simply throw them away.
- Everland brand organic coconut chocolate candies. The reason for the ban is the milk, which is not declared on the label. It is worth noting that there have been no reports of any illnesses associated with this product.
- Taynton Bay Spirits brand Pickle Vodka. The reason for the ban was its high copper content. The product was widely sold in 750 ml bottles in British Columbia, Alberta and online retailers. According to the agency, there have already been cases of poisoning with this product.
- Tim Horton's brand soup, which was sold in Ontario and Alberta, was banned because of the presence of insects (a dangerous protein).
- Health Canada recalled more than 1.5 million dry shampoos from popular brands Dove, Bed Head TIGI and Tresemmé in October after discovering the chemical benzene. This substance causes cancer, irritation and allergies.
- In anticipation of the holidays and gift shopping, specialists do not recommend the purchase of basketball wall ring systems from the Goalsetter brand. They have been recalled because of problems with improper installation, which can cause the ring to fall and risk injury or death. Also, you should not buy a puzzle by Professor Puzzle. The toy has a peeling plastic label, which can be potentially dangerous and cause choking in children.
After the inspections and the discovery of the danger, all products are removed from sale and must be sent to the manufacturers. If the listed products are on the shelves, the inspection committee should be notified. This proves once again that Canada is one of the best and safest countries to live in.
On December 26, after the solemn celebration of Christmas, Canadians usually go shopping. That's why there are lots of discounted items and various offers on this day. Be careful.
