Geography and distribution

Publisher geography for this signal is recorded as Canada (CA). Distribution scope is modeled as national. Recalling-firm addresses are not the same as where product was sold.

The relevant audience is anyone who possesses a product matching the publisher's brand, package, date, lot, or UPC identifiers. Risk varies by the specific hazard and individual health circumstances.

How OutbreakThreat handles food safety notices

We ingest machine-readable official records, preserve the publisher URL and external identifier, classify event and hazard types, and run source/content checks before publication. Automated briefs may be updated when the upstream record changes. We do not invent case counts, lot codes, affected states, or closure status. See our editorial policy, sources methodology, and corrections pages.
