Canada Recalls Snow Crab Flavoured Surimi Stick Over Undeclared Egg and Soy

Ecological Park Agriculture Inc. is recalling Snow Crab Flavoured Surimi Stick in Canada because the product contains egg and soy that the label does not declare. Egg and soy are two of Canada's major food allergens, and a missing declaration puts allergic or sensitive consumers at risk of a serious reaction if they eat the stick.

No illnesses or adverse reactions connected to this product have been reported to the company to date, according to the recall notice. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which published the recall with additional product photos on its website, is the agency of record for the action.

What exactly is being recalled?

The recalled item is a 200-gram pouch of Snow Crab Flavoured Surimi Stick. It carries no brand name, and the label is printed in Chinese characters only — a detail that matters for retailers and for shoppers who do not read Chinese, because the allergen information cannot be cross-checked in either official language.

Identification relies on three elements:

• UPC: 6 926104 942661
• Date codes: 20260802, 20270201, and J016 D02
• Pack size: 200 grams, pouch format

Distribution was retail-level only, and only in the province of British Columbia. No other provinces, formats, or date codes fall under this recall as published.

What does this change for consumers and retailers?

For consumers, the practical question is what to do with product already purchased. The guidance is direct: anyone who cannot consume egg or soy should not eat the recalled stick. Two disposal options are offered — throw it away, or return it.

If discarding, the notice asks consumers to double bag or wrap the product first so other people cannot see it, and to place it in a secure trash can with a tight-fitting lid. That instruction exists because food recovered from unsecured garbage can still be eaten by people unaware of the recall. The alternative is a return to the store of purchase for a full refund, no receipt requirement stated in the notice.

For retailers in British Columbia, the recall means pulling the item by UPC and date code from shelves and back rooms, and preparing for refund requests on the 200-gram pouches. Because the product is unbranded and labeled only in Chinese, staff sorting stock by visual inspection alone may miss it; the UPC scan is the reliable screen.

Why allergen recalls carry weight

Undeclared allergens are among the most consequential categories of food recall because the risk is binary: a sensitive consumer either avoids the product or has a reaction. Egg and soy both sit on Canada's major-allergen list, which makes label declaration mandatory rather than optional. A failure at the labeling stage — the batch left the plant with the allergens in the formulation but not on the package — is what triggered this action.

Shoppers who bought the pouch in British Columbia can verify their product against the UPC and date codes now, and the CFIA site carries a second product image for confirmation.
