Great news for those of you looking for more dairy alternatives for your coffees, Starbucks Canada is now serving coconut milk! After thousands of votes on websites like MyStarbucksIdea, tweets and barista requests, Starbucks has begun to serve Starbucks Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Milk in stores across the country as of September 8, 2015.
It’s already been an option in the US since February 2015, and has finally made its way to Canada. Coconut milk is just the latest addition in ways you can customize your drink, as Starbucks currently offers numerous options including soy milk, 2%, non-fat, whole milk, half-and-half and in some areas lactose-free milk. It’s great for any of you out there who are looking for vegan alternatives to milk, as the Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Milk is certified vegan! It’s also made from more than your regular coconut, as they use single-origin coconuts from the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Starbucks Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Milk was developed by Starbucks research and development team to accompany drinks such as their hot, iced and Frappuccino beverages and is said to have a rich and creamy taste. Will you be trying it in your morning coffee?
Safeway is recalling field cucumbers and various in-store produced products that contain cucumbers purchased from Safeway due to possible Salmonella contamination. This recall applies to fresh field cucumbers sold in bulk, unwrapped and various in-store produced products that contain cucumbers, such as Greek salad, vegetable trays, sushi and sandwiches purchased from Safeway on or before September 6, 2015. Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased affected products should check with their Safeway store.
Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.
Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
Before you break into your Labour Day weekend festivities, be sure to check the labels on the Smirnoff Ice brand beverages you may have purchased to kick off the long weekend. Diageo Canada has voluntarily issued this recall and it is a class 2 level, meaning that it affects everyone nationwide. The reason for this recall is because the company suspects that there could be a glass contamination in a wide variety of their bottles. The bottles include nearly every Smirnoff Ice brand product, and also every size, so be sure to check the UPC codes on your bottles to see if they match with any of the ones mentioned in the product recall.
You can see a full list on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s website with the detailed UPC codes. However, here is a list of the brands that were included in the recall:
Smirnoff Ice
Smirnoff Ice Peach Bellini
Smirnoff Ice Green Apple
Smirnoff Ice Raspberry
Smirnoff Ice Cranberry and Lime
Smirnoff Ice Watermelon Mimosa
Smirnoff Ice Orange Screwdriver
Smirnoff Ice Light
Smirnoff Ice The Life of the Party Pack
The CFIA advises you to either throw out these bottles, or return them to the liquor store you purchased them at for a refund.
