A mushroom velouté sold at Panier Gourmand on rue Beaubien is under a recall warning. The Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation (MAPAQ), working with the Montréal food inspection division, says the glass jars' labels do not carry the required « Garder réfrigéré » storage mention.
The warning covers the "Velouté de champignons" in single jars with a black metal lid, from every lot whose label lacks that mention. The product was sold only at the store at 1251 rue Beaubien, and only refrigerated.
If you bought one and did not keep it in the fridge at all times since purchase, do not eat it. The product shows no visible sign of spoilage or suspicious odour, but MAPAQ says consuming it may still pose a health risk. Anyone with symptoms after eating it should see a health professional. MAPAQ has no reports so far of illness linked to this product.
The operator is recalling the jars and agreed with MAPAQ and the city to issue the warning as a precaution. MAPAQ classes it as classe 1, its most serious food-recall category. Questions can go to smsaia@mapaq.gouv.qc.ca; the reference number is 5840.
