The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and discount retailer Dollarama are warning people with allergies to peanut proteins not to eat Bergen brand almond cookies.
They say the product may contain peanuts that are not declared on the label.
One person is known to have become ill after eating the cookies, the agency says.
All best-before date codes of the Bergen brand almond cookies, product of Poland, sold in 145-gram packages are affected by this alert.
The product has been distributed across Canada.
The importer, Montreal-based Dollarama, is voluntarily recalling the affected product from its stores. The food inspection agency is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall.
For more information, consumers can call the agency at 1-800-442-2342, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday.
