ProtiDiet High Protein Chocolate Dream Bar recall
Recalled by Doctors Best Weight Loss · Pembroke Pines, FL, United States
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Recall was initiated after CFIA notified FDA of implicated products sold to the firm. During a FDA visit, the firm discovered that they were selling product that were recalled in Canada by the manufacturer, "Pro-Amino International Inc." because it may be contaminated with Salmonella. Upon further FDA investigation at the firm product was further distributed to a consignee in Canada.
Pathogen: Salmonella
Salmonella is the most common cause of food recalls for bacteria, often in eggs, produce, nuts and spices.
The most serious food recalls: a contaminated product can cause outbreaks, hospitalisations and deaths, especially for pregnant people, young children, older adults and anyone with a weakened immune system. All bacteria & viruses recalls.

Where it was sold
FDA's distribution note: Canada
Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
