Popular Chicken Burgers Recalled Across Canada Due to Allergy Risk
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a nationwide recall for a popular brand of frozen chicken burgers. Leadbetter Foods Inc. announced that Compliments' Smashed 100% Chicken Burgers are being pulled from store shelves because they may contain egg, which is not listed on the product label.
This recall is a safety measure for consumers who have an allergy or sensitivity to eggs. Eating a product containing undeclared egg can cause serious or life-threatening reactions in people with this specific allergy. The company has confirmed that the affected products were sold in grocery stores across Canada.
Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the specific chicken burger packages. If you have the recalled product, you should not eat it. Instead, you should either throw the burgers away or return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
As of now, there have been no reports of illnesses related to the consumption of these chicken burgers. The CFIA is currently monitoring the situation to ensure that all affected products are removed from the marketplace. For more information, customers can visit the official CFIA website or contact the retailer where the items were bought.
