A recall has been issued in Canada for two brands of sea and Himalayan salt due to the presence of plastic pieces in the products. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has warned consumers not to use, sell, serve, or distribute the affected products. The recall was issued by Loblaw Companies Limited and affects two products: President’s Choice Mediterranean Sea Salts (360g) and President’s Choice Himalayan Pink Rock Salts (390g). The recalled products have best before dates up to January 17, 2026, and can be identified by their Universal Product Codes (UPC): 0 60383 97655 2 and 0 60383 18288 5, respectively.
The CFIA has not provided further details about the recall, including whether anyone has been injured or fallen ill as a result of consuming the contaminated salt. Additionally, no description of the plastic pieces found in the products has been released. The agency’s website simply advises consumers to check their homes for the recalled products and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The recall is a precautionary measure to ensure public safety, and consumers are advised to exercise caution when handling the affected products. It is unclear at this time how the plastic pieces ended up in the salt products, but the recall suggests that the contamination may have occurred during the manufacturing or packaging process.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are advised to check the packaging carefully and to contact the manufacturer or the store where they purchased the product for more information. The CFIA will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. In the meantime, consumers can visit the CFIA’s website for more information on the recall and to check for any updates on the affected products.
