The maker of Boursin Cheese has announced a recall of its dairy-free spread in Canada because it contains undeclared milk.
The dairy-free Garlic & Fine Herbs plant-based spread was distributed in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, an advisory from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says.
The recall is limited to the 170 gram size of the spread, with UPC: 0 41757 02355 3 and a ‘best before’ date of Aug. 7, 2025.
The spread is made by Quebec manufacturer Fromageries Bel Canada Inc., and is sold by several major retailers including Food Basics, Metro, Sobeys, and Walmart.
CFIA is advising anyone with milk allergies to avoid consuming the recalled product.
The recall is categorized as a Class II recall. Class II represents the middle category of the three-tier classification system. It signifies a moderate risk that consuming the food may lead to short-term or non-life threatening health problems.
The federal health agency has also issued two other recall advisories this month for products with undeclared ingredients.
The 250-gram Alexander’s Fudge brand Cookies n' Cream Fudge has been recalled for undeclared wheat, while Getas Fish Crackers and Ny.Siok Shrimp Crackers have been recalled due to undeclared egg.
Getas Fish Crackers and Ny.Siok Shrimp Crackers were recalled after CFIA testing discovered the undeclared ingredient. There have been no reports of customer reactions to the products to-date. The list of the affected crackers can be found here.
The crackers have been classified as class I recall. Class I represents the most severe category among all recall classifications, signifying a significant risk that the consumption of the food could result in serious health issues or even death.
“Do not consume recalled products to which you are allergic or sensitive as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction,” the advisory says.
The Alexander’s Fudge cookie recall is a class II recall and was triggered by a consumer complaint, the advisory said. There has been one reported reaction associated with the consumption of this product and CFIA has been ensuring all recalled products with UPC 6 28250 24007 8 are removed from the marketplace.
CFIA said it will be conducting a food safety investigation into both the fudge and cracker recalls, which may lead to the recall of other products.
