D. Effe T. has announced a recall of its Lemon Delight and Tartlet with Forest Fruits due to potential Salmonella contamination. These products were distributed in Ontario, Canada, and may pose a health risk to consumers.
The recall was initiated due to concerns about Salmonella contamination, which can cause foodborne illness. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look, smell, or taste spoiled but can still cause serious health issues.
Consuming Salmonella-contaminated food can result in gastrointestinal illness and other severe complications. Symptoms may appear within 6 to 72 hours after exposure and typically last 4 to 7 days. Symptoms include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Severe cases may lead to long-term complications like arthrits.
While most healthy individuals recover without medical treatment, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of severe illness. In some cases, infection can lead to serious complications, including dehydration and long-term arthritis.
Consumers are advised to take the following actions:
Check your home for recalled products and stop consuming them immediately.
Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute these products.
Dispose of recalled items safely or return them to the store for a full refund.
If you have symptoms of Salmonella infection, contact your healthcare provider for medical advice.
If unsure whether you purchased a recalled product, reach out to your retailer for confirmation.
D. Effe T. has assured consumers that it is working closely with food safety authorities to address the issue and prevent further risks. The company apologizes for the inconvenience and urges consumers to follow recall guidelines for their safety.
