Health Canada has voiced worry that an adverse response may occur if someone who is lactose intolerant consumed the product without knowing that it included milk.
Power Life by Tony Horton’s High Impact Plant Protein in chocolate flavour has also been recalled as of December 19 due to undeclared milk. The recall in one nation prompted Health Canada to act on their online protein powder store after a similar recall in another country.

STEEL, RUBBER, and Salmonella
Recalls have been happening increasingly often recently, and sometimes for reasons other than a potentially deceptive label.

On December 16th, a recall was issued for a certain variety of cheese distributed in the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec owing to possible listeria contamination.
Igor’s Gorgonzola Dolce has been recalled because of probable listeria monocytogenes contamination, which can cause stomach cramps, high fever, and muscular pain. It is also possible for the infection to prove fatal.
According to Health Canada, many people may have bought the cheese without realising it was tainted.
According to the recall, “the recalled product may have been sold by other merchants, either clerk-served or in smaller containers, with or without a label that may not display the same brand, product name, or best before date.” If a customer is unclear whether or not they bought the recalled item, they can inquire with the store where they made their purchase.
In a more outlandish development, fragments of rubber were discovered in a batch of Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets sold under Pinty’s Eatwell brand at the beginning of the month, prompting a recall. Reports from Health Canada indicate that these nuggets were widely distributed.
