Most of the recalled products were sold at a bakery in Montreal and served to customers between June 25 and July 26.

Pistachios have been the subject of several related recalls over the last two weeks, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the latest alert was triggered by its investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak.

The Public Health Agency of Canada said Friday that 52 people got sick and 10 landed in hospital after eating contaminated pistachios and baked goods containing the nut.

The health agency has said it expects more salmonella cases linked to this outbreak to be reported in the coming months.
