Health Canada says people should not consume the recalled product and should throw it out or return it to the location where it was purchased.
The agency says food contaminated with Cronobacter may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick, and in rare cases, it can cause serious or fatal infections.
It adds the bacteria can be especially harmful to newborns, and has been associated with severe intestinal infections and blood poisoning.
