TORONTO - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning consumers that some Hershey's candy that was recalled in 2006 has been found for sale in the Toronto area.
Garfield Balsom of the CFIA says the candy has codes ranging from 6417 to 6455 on the package.
In November 2006, Hershey's was forced to recall dozens of products after salmonella was detected at its plant in Smiths Falls, Ont.
The contamination was traced to an emulsifying agent, soy lecithin.
Some of the recalled chocolate was stolen in 2007 from a Toronto recycling depot that had been contracted to receive and dispose of the potentially contaminated products.
Balsom says it is believed the candy that has appeared on the shelves of some convenience stores is some of the stolen chocolate.
