The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced a recall of Celebration Herbals Senna Leaf Herbal Tea because it may be contaminated with salmonella.
The warning was issued on Wednesday after the company reported the problem.
The recalled tea comes in boxes of 24 tea bags (42 grams) with a best-before date of Oct. 29, 2028. It has the UPC 6 28240 20182 9 and lot number 251004.
The product was sold in B.C., New Brunswick, and Ontario, and was also available online.
The CFIA is telling consumers and retailers not to consume, serve, sell, or distribute the tea. Anyone who has the product should throw it out or return it to the store where it was bought.
The agency says that food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell different, but it can still make people sick.
So far, no illnesses connected to the tea have been reported.
Symptoms of salmonella include fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. In some cases, the infection can lead to more serious long-term health problems, such as arthritis.
The CFIA recommends that anyone who has consumed the recalled tea contact a health-care provider.
