The meat snack items were produced with the recalled chocolate wafers on various dates from January 2, 2023, through January 18, 2023. The following products are subject to the public health alert [view labels]:

The products subject to the public health alert bear establishment number “645” inside the Canadian mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) notified FSIS that the recalled wafers were used in products distributed to the United States.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
