Canada Recalls Garlic Powder Over Health Concerns

Canada Recalls Garlic Powder Over Health Concerns

Canada's food safety agency has asked people to stop using a certain garlic powder sold at Dollarama stores.

The garlic powder might have a tiny germ that can make people sick.

The germ, called Bacillus cereus, can cause tummy aches, throwing up, and diarrhea.

Even though no one has gotten sick yet, it's better to be safe.

If you have this garlic powder, you should throw it away.

Dollarama is giving a small gift card to people who bought it as a sorry.

This is one of several food safety alerts happening in North America right now.
