Unbranded baklava sold at Toronto’s Agora Greek Market recalled over possible Salmonella

A food recall warning issued Oct. 24 covers unbranded baklava sold at Agora Greek Market, 921 Queen St. W., Toronto, due to possible Salmonella contamination. The product, distributed in Ontario, was sold between Sept. 19 and Oct. 3, 2025. The recall is linked to an ongoing investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak.
