A recall has been issued for a mayonnaise-based dipping sauce sold at Fressers on Décarie Boulevard in Montreal, as it may be contaminated with Hepatitis A. The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ) announced the recall on June 4, 2026, urging consumers who purchased the product to either return it to the store or dispose of it immediately.
Details of the Recall
The affected product is the Fressers brand dipping sauce, sold in various container sizes. The recall applies to all lots sold up to the announcement date. Hepatitis A is a serious liver infection that can cause symptoms such as fever, fatigue, nausea, and jaundice. The virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contaminated food.
Consumer Advice
MAPAQ recommends that anyone who has consumed the sauce and develops symptoms of Hepatitis A should consult a healthcare provider. The ministry is working with Fressers to ensure all affected products are removed from shelves. No other Fressers products are affected by this recall.
This recall comes amid heightened food safety concerns in the region. Authorities remind the public to always check food labels and report any suspected contamination to local health officials. The investigation into the source of the contamination is ongoing.
