Canada recalls chicken thighs in Ontario and Nova Scotia over chemical contamination; low health risk.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled certain boneless chicken thighs sold in Ontario and Nova Scotia due to contamination with semicarbazide, a chemical that may indicate the presence of the banned drug nitrofurazone or result from azodicarbonamide in packaging. The Class 3 recall, indicating low health risk, affects specific lots with expiration dates from November 10 to November 12, 2025, and was distributed to retail outlets, restaurants, hotels, and institutions. The product was produced by Les Viandes Bernard Centrale Inc. Consumers are advised not to use, sell, serve, or distribute the chicken. The CFIA works to remove unsafe food from the market and encourages reporting of related safety concerns through official channels.
