Grated carrots recalled in Quebec over pieces of metal

J. G. Fruits & Légumes Inc. has recalled four grated carrot products distributed in Quebec because they may contain pieces of metal, according to a notice posted Oct. 29 on the Government of Canada’s recalls and safety alerts site.

The recall is a class 2 recall under the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s system. The agency said the products went to retail and to hotels, restaurants and institutions. The notice does not name the stores or restaurants, and it does not mention any injuries or illnesses.

None of the products carries a brand name. All four have a best-before date of Oct. 28, 2026. The notice lists no lot numbers.

The affected products are product code 7068, a one-kilogram bag of grated carrots with UPC 00650746298553; product code 65163, a case of five 1.82-kilogram bags with UPC 8926930012574; product code 65167, a case of five 1.82-kilogram bags with UPC 10620868203022; and product code 65165, grated carrots 1/16, a case of 100 packages of 2.27 kilograms, for which no UPC is listed.

The agency’s advice is not to use, sell, serve or distribute the affected products.
