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.
  • Salmonella infection can lead to temporary effects such as elevated temperature, headaches, stomach upset, and diarrhea, with certain populations—including young children, pregnant individuals, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems—being more susceptible to severe complications; however, no cases have been reported to date.
  • The CFIA is verifying the removal of recalled products from shelves and warns that the investigation might lead to more recalls, highlighting ongoing public health monitoring.
