Tim Hortons brand soup base recalled in Ontario for containing insects

A Tim Hortons branded chicken noodle soup base was recalled in Ontario and other parts of the country because it contained insects.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says the recalled product was sold in Ontario and Alberta.

It was made available for purchase in those provinces up to and including Oct. 20, 2022.

The agency says the soup base, which weighs 3.54 kilograms per unit, was sold to hotels, restaurants and institutions.

The recall involves products with the best-before dates from March 13, 2023, to April 30, 2023.

The CFIA says not to use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product.
