RECALL: Dubai Brand Milk Chocolate May Contain Salmonella
QUEBEC, CANADA, AUG 5 – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency advises consumers to avoid the Dubai brand chocolate sold in Quebec due to salmonella contamination; no illnesses reported so far, officials said.
- On August 5, 2025, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced a recall of Dubai pistachio and knafeh milk chocolate bars available online and in Quebec.
- The recall followed test results revealing potential salmonella contamination discovered during a CFIA food safety investigation involving products made for Distribution Bonbons JJ Candy.
- The affected 145-gram chocolate bars have the UPC 6 11834 51237 1, and consumers are advised not to eat, sell, or serve these products and to return or discard them.
