The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a nationwide recall on Saturday for Baby Gourmet Organic’s Banana Raisin Oatmeal, an organic whole grain baby cereal, because of possible Cronobacter contamination.


CFIA said that the recall, which was triggered by test results, related to products with lot code 24122BROAC G2 and the expiry date Apr. 3, 2025.


A food safety investigation is ongoing and may lead to more products being recalled, the agency said.


Calgary-based Baby Gourmet Foods said in a news release on Sunday that the banana raisin oatmeal cereal was being removed from all in-store and online retailers nationally.


It said that no incidents linked to the recalled oatmeal had been reported so far and no other products were affected.
