The food inspection agency also added NuttyHero nut and seed butters — including maple cinnamon, coconut crunch and chocolate bliss flavours — to the recall list on Friday.

Hundreds of pistachios and pistachio-containing products have been recalled in Canada in recent months.

People who think they might have recalled products should throw them out and contact a health-care provider if they have become sick.

Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you ill.

Symptoms can include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

Young children, pregnant women, seniors and people with weakened immune symptoms are especially at risk of serious illness.
