Legends Haul is recalling one of its chicken products after failing to declare wheat as one of the ingredients on the label.
The Vancouver company's Chicken Pesto Parm Sausage is being taken away from markets across B.C. following test results from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Members of the public that are allergic or sensitive to wheat, including those that have celiac disease or gluten-free disorders, are most at risk if they eat the chicken sausage.
In a statement on Tuesday, March 18, the CFIA explained consumption of the product "may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction."
"There have been no reported reactions associated with the consumption of this product," the statement added.
"The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products."
Details of the recalled item are as follows:
