The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a warning that the public should not consume the Clef Des Champs brand organic products described below because these products may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria (no one hospitalized yet, thankfully).

Organic Ginger Ground root
Organic Curry Spices Culinary Mix (3 sizes)
Organic Spice Cake Culinary mix
Organic Ginger

The manufacturer, Herboristerie La Clef Des Champs Inc., Val-David, Quebec is voluntarily recalling the affected products. More info on Salmonella, if you need it.


Organic food. Bah. If only science could develop a way to genetically engineer food so that it doesn't need to have feces on it to grow.
