Certain cardamom seeds may contain salmonella bacteria The public warning issued on June 23, 2010 has been expanded to include additional product information. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning the public not to consume cardamom seeds described below because these products may be contaminated with Salmonella. The following products are affected by this alert:
There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause salmonellosis, a food borne illness.

Long-term complications may include severe arthritis. The distributors are voluntarily recalling the affected products from the marketplace. The CFIA is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall.
