"Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick," the CFIA recall warning states.

"Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections."

The product should be thrown out or returned to where it was purchased.

According to CFIA, there have been no reported illnesses connected with the product.
