A garlic powder recall is drawing new search interest because the affected jar is the kind of low-cost pantry item many shoppers may not check again after buying it.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says Heavenly Spices brand Garlic Powder has been recalled because of possible Bacillus cereus contamination. The recall notice was last updated on July 15, 2026, and lists the distribution as national in Canada and online.

The key detail is narrow: the recall applies to Heavenly Spices Garlic Powder in a 70 g container with UPC 6 67888 50634 7 and code BB: 2029 JAN 30 GP 30ZV PIT. Other spice jars are not automatically included unless their label matches the recall notice.

Do this first

  • Check the brand, product name, size, UPC and best-before code on the jar before using it.
  • If every listed detail matches, do not cook with it, serve it, sell it or give it to someone else.
  • Set the jar aside in a bag or container so it is not mixed back into your pantry.
  • Use the retailer or official recall page for refund or replacement instructions.

Why the recall matters

Bacillus cereus can cause food poisoning. FoodSafety.gov lists two common patterns: one linked to watery diarrhea and abdominal cramps, and another linked to nausea and vomiting. The timing can vary by the type of illness, so the safer move is to remove the recalled product rather than taste, smell or cook it to judge whether it is safe.

The CFIA notice tells consumers and retailers not to use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product. Dollarama was identified in multiple reports as the recalling firm or retailer tied to the affected Heavenly Spices jar.

What to check

Look for the 70 g size, UPC 6 67888 50634 7 and code BB: 2029 JAN 30 GP 30ZV PIT. If the label is missing, damaged or unclear, treat the jar cautiously and check the official recall notice before using it.

If someone in your household ate food made with the recalled garlic powder, watch for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain or cramps. FoodSafety.gov advises fluids and rest for Bacillus cereus illness, and says to call a doctor if you cannot drink enough fluids to avoid dehydration.

What happens next

Recall notices can be updated if regulators or companies identify more products, codes or distribution channels. Check the CFIA recall page before shopping again, especially if you bought Heavenly Spices products online or from a store in Canada.
