MAPAQ warns against raspberry pastries from three Montréal bakeries

Québec food-safety officials are warning consumers not to eat specified raspberry pastries sold at three Boulangerie Ange locations in Montréal in September because they may have been contaminated with norovirus.

The October 2 warning from the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation applies to:

• Raspberry tarts and tartlets sold September 9–11 at 3165 Masson Street.
• Raspberry tarts, tartlets and danishes sold September 1–11 at 1500 Atwater Avenue, including through Too Good To Go.
• Raspberry tarts, tartlets and danishes sold September 11 at 345 Viger Avenue West, including through Uber Eats.

The refrigerated products were handed over in cardboard boxes and some packaging may bear a Boulangerie Ange label. MAPAQ says they may also have been sold online or distributed by community organizations in the region. Anyone who still has one is advised not to consume it.

The warning follows a broader Canadian Food Inspection Agency recall involving Alasko frozen whole raspberries. The federal recall notice, last updated September 15, identifies affected 1-kilogram and 5-kilogram products with lot SY25314 and a best-before date of November 10, 2027.

MAPAQ says several illness cases have been reported in connection with consumption of the underlying Alasko raspberries. The provincial notice describes the warning as precautionary and advises people who develop symptoms after consuming a listed product to consult a health professional.
