Food and Product Recall Database
After discovering this morning that a brand of potato-leek soup might have undeclared clams in it….this seemed like an appropriate database to highlight. The Healthy Canadians website has played host to a database of recalled food and consumer products since 2007. You can search by product or by food and the site also provides links to lists of recalled foods and products by month, and articles on various food/product safety topics.
A related site you may be interested to look at is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. This provides you with a great deal of information related to food & food chain safety in Canada. Also links to the various authorities in each region that are responsible for handling restaurant complaints and inspections.
- For Vancouver, this is the Coastal Health Authority. The Health Authority has a very handy database that will allow you to search for and view restaurant inspections for food establishments in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, “Bellas,” Richmond and Bowen Island. Just may be more information than you wanted to know!
