Several more people have become sick after eating imported pastries linked to a salmonella outbreak.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said on Wednesday that it was now investigating 69 cases of salmonella, up from 61 last week.

The federal agency noted that people became ill between late Sept. 2024 and early Jan. 2025. Of the 69 cases, 22 people have been hospitalized. Quebec has the most cases with 37 followed by Ontario which has 24 cases.

“Many people who became sick reported eating pastries at catered events or from other establishments where the recalled products were served or sold,” PHAC said.

The affected products are Sweet Cream brand mini pastries. Earlier on Wednesday, two more pasty items were recalled, D. Effe T. brand Lemon Delights and Tartlets with Forest Fruits, due to salmonella contamination.
