T&T organic roasted black soybeans recalled in four provinces over undeclared milk

OTTAWA — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a public warning after announcing the recall of a T&T-brand food product that may contain milk not declared in the ingredient list.

The recall covers T&T Organic Roasted Black Soybeans, sold in 300-gram packages, after testing indicated the possible presence of an allergen not declared on the label.

The agency said the warning is aimed in particular at people with a milk allergy or sensitivity to milk ingredients, because eating the product could cause serious reactions that can be life-threatening in some cases.

Four provinces affected by the recall

The agency said the affected product was distributed in four provinces: Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia, where T&T stores specializing in Asian food products operate.

This does not necessarily mean that all products carrying the brand are included in the recall, as the current action is limited to a specific product and certain lot codes.

The warning was formally issued on Saturday, November 7, 2026, after the results of tests carried out by the CFIA.

The recall is classified as Class 1, the highest risk level in Canada's food recall classification system, because of the potential for serious health effects in people with allergies.

How to identify the affected packages

The agency identified the details of the recalled product and urged consumers to check the labels on packages before eating them or serving them to family members.

The agency said the company responsible for the recall is Uncle T Food, while the investigation continues into how milk came to be in the product without being declared.

It is important to check the UPC and lot codes, because similar-looking packaging alone is not enough to confirm that another product is included in the recall.

Have any illnesses been reported?

The agency said that, as of the date the warning was published, no allergic reactions associated with consumption of the affected product had been reported.

However, the absence of reports does not mean there is no risk, particularly for people who may have a severe allergic response after exposure to a small amount of milk protein.

A milk allergy differs from lactose intolerance: the former involves an immune response that can develop quickly, while the latter is more often linked to digestive problems.

Allergy symptoms may include a skin rash or swelling of the lips and face, as well as vomiting and difficulty breathing. Severe symptoms require emergency medical attention, especially if accompanied by sudden weakness, dizziness or a tightening of the airway.

What to do if you bought the product

The agency asked consumers not to eat the affected packages if they have a milk allergy or sensitivity to milk ingredients.

It also stressed that the product should not be served to others, used to prepare food, resold or distributed.

Recalled packages can be thrown out or returned to the place of purchase, in line with official instructions.

Anyone who develops severe allergic symptoms after eating the product should seek immediate medical help and not wait for the symptoms to go away on their own.

Investigation may extend to other products

The CFIA is continuing its investigation into the safety of the product and did not rule out expanding the recall if new information warrants it.

It is also verifying that the affected packages are being removed from stores, in cooperation with the parties responsible for their distribution.

Consumers can contact the agency at 1-613-773-2342 or follow official notices for updates.

The warning remains aimed in particular at people with a milk allergy, who should check the package details and not assume the product is safe simply because no illnesses have been reported so far.
