CFIA considers sending inspectors to Italy to investigate salmonella outbreak linked to Canadian pastries.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is assessing whether to send inspectors to Italy to investigate a salmonella outbreak linked to Sweet Cream brand mini-pastries, which has sickened at least 61 people in Canada. The pastries have been recalled in several provinces. The CFIA will consider factors such as the extent of the product's distribution in Canada and cooperation from Italian officials before deciding on the inspection. The agency aims to investigate sanitization and food handling protocols to determine the source of contamination.
