The food inspection agency has been issuing several food recall warnings in the recent times. On the same day when it brought to notice about the Mondelez Canada arrowroot biscuit products, three other companies – Ha Noi, Soylent and Imperial Caviar & Seafood have come under its scanner.
Mr. Christie’s brand, owned by Mondalez Canada, had faced trouble from CFIA in the past as well. In March, its Social Tea Biscuits product was issued a Class 3 hazard classification, and was recalled in five Canadian provinces for containing metal pieces.
