Arrowroot biscuits recalled across Canada due to illnesses

Mondelēz Canada, part of the multinational snack company, Mondelēz International Inc., is recalling certain date codes of Mr. Christie’s brand Arrowroot Biscuits from the marketplace due to a potential off-taste, according to Food Safety News.

In the October 21, 2016, recall notice on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s website, consumers are being asked not to consume the recalled products.

“Check to see if you have recalled products in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased,” according to the recall notice. The notice also reads that a number of people have reported becoming ill after eating the cookies, although there is no information as to the severity of the illness.

The public is asked to call their doctor if they think they have become ill after consuming the recalled products. Consumers are also asked to check their cupboards for the recalled products and to throw them out if found.

This recall was set in motion by the company. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other products are recalled, the public will be alerted through updated recall notices.

The recalled Mr. Christie’s brand Arrowroot Biscuits can be identified by information on the packaging:
350 g with UPC number 0 66721 01046 9 with one of the following date codes: Best Before 2017 FE 24; or Best Before 2017 FE 28;

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend Karen Graham, who served as Editor-at-Large at Digital Journal. She was 78 years old. Karen's view of what is happening in our world was colored by her love of history and how the past influences events taking place today. Her belief in humankind's part in the care of the planet and our environment has led her to focus on the need for action in dealing with climate change. It was said by Geoffrey C. Ward, "Journalism is merely history's first draft." Everyone who writes about what is happening today is indeed, writing a small part of our history.
