Baby food is being recalled because it contains a possible carcinogen.
Heinz Canada is recalling several lots of Mixed Baby Cereal because it contains high levels of a toxin produced by fungus called "Ochratoxin A".
The fungi grows on several food crops, and is not normally a problem.
Even if a child has eaten the cereal, parents are being told not be concerned because consuming the cancer-linked ingredient in small portions over the short term is not a serious health concern.
Anyone who has containers of the affected product in their home should throw it out.

Désolée si le message est en anglais, mais je n'ai pas trouvé celui en français. En gros, ce sont les céréales Heinz, le sac de 227 grammes, céréales mixtes étape 2 à partir de 6 mois. Les codes et dates sont dans le message. Il y aurait un champignon toxique dans ces sacs. À surveiller!
