Sweet Potato Slice is recalled in Canada

Published: June 29, 2009 at 9:34 AM

OTTAWA, June 29 (UPI) -- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning people with sensitivity to sulfites not to consume Sweet Potato Slice, a product of China.

The CFIA said the product might contain sulfites that are not declared on the label.

The recalled product -- manufactured by Zhongshan Kaxing Industry & Trade Co. Ltd. in China -- is known to have been distributed in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. However, the federal agency said it might have been distributed nationally.

The CFIA said consumption of the product might cause a serious or life-threatening reaction in people allergic to sulfites.
