Dan-D Pak brand Raw Macadamia Nuts are being recalled from the Canadian marketplace due to possible Salmonella contamination, according to the latest food safety alert issued on January 28, 2026.
The affected product was distributed in Alberta and British Columbia.
The recall was initiated after the product was found to be potentially contaminated with Salmonella, a bacterium that can cause serious foodborne illness. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not show any visible signs of spoilage, such as an unusual smell or appearance, but can still pose a health risk.
Salmonella infection can be particularly dangerous for young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, potentially leading to severe and sometimes fatal illness.
Healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms including fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. In some cases, long-term complications such as severe arthritis may occur.
Consumers are advised to:
Check if they have the recalled Dan-D Pak Raw Macadamia Nuts at home
Not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute the recalled product
Dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase
Seek medical attention if they believe they became ill after consuming the recalled nuts
Food safety authorities are continuing their investigation to ensure the effectiveness of the recall and to prevent further distribution of the affected product. Consumers are encouraged to stay informed by signing up for recall notifications and reporting any food safety or labelling concerns to the appropriate authorities.
The recall highlights the ongoing risk of microbial contamination in raw nut products and reinforces the importance of strict food safety monitoring across the supply chain.
