Garlic powder sold at Dollarama is being recalled, and Canadians are urged not to consume the affected product.

The recall concerns Heavenly Spices brand garlic powder sold in a 70 gram package distributed across the country.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) published the recall issued by the dollar store chain earlier this week.

“Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product,” the release from CIFA said.

The CFIA says the seasoning was recalled due to Bacillus cereus contamination. That’s a bacteria that can cause food poisoning, and infection from it can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
