Key takeaways

- The gravy holds mustard that is not on the label.
- Check the pack size, UPC, and best-before codes below.
A turkey gravy sold in Canada is under recall. The gravy holds mustard. The label does not list it.
That is a risk for people with a mustard allergy.
The product is Kevin's Natural Foods brand Turkey Gravy. News reports say Costco stores in several provinces sold it. The recall covers four provinces in western Canada.

What happened
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, or CFIA, issued the recall warning. It first published the warning on October 9, 2026. The recall ID is RA-82767.
The firm behind the recall is CalChef Foods, LLC. It sells food under the Kevin's Natural Foods brand. The company itself triggered the recall.
The issue is a label error. The gravy holds mustard. The label does not declare it.
People who read the label would not know mustard is inside.
Mustard is a common allergen. For people with a mustard allergy, it can cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. The CFIA says such people must not eat the recalled gravy.
No reactions have been reported. The CFIA says that in its warning. The recall is a safety step.
It aims to stop harm before it happens.
How to check your pack
Not every tub of this gravy is recalled. Only packs that match all the details below fall under the recall. Check each detail with care.
Brand: Kevin's Natural Foods.
Product: Turkey Gravy.
Size: 1.33 L.
UPC: 8 10264 02763 3.
Best-before codes: BB: 2026 DE 07 or BB: 2026 DE 12.
Label check: mustard is not declared on the label.
If your pack matches all of these points, treat it as recalled. If the label does list mustard, the recall does not cover that pack. The recall hinges on the missing label, not on the brand alone.
The recalled tubs went to four provinces. Those are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The CFIA lists those four in its warning.
The product is a Class 1 recall. Class 1 is the most serious recall class. It means the product could cause serious harm to people at risk.
Why it matters
A missing allergen on a label is a big deal. People with allergies trust labels. They read them to stay safe.
A wrong label breaks that trust.
Mustard can hide in sauces and gravies. It may not be clear from taste or smell. A person with an allergy could eat it without knowing.
That is why the CFIA acts fast on undeclared allergens.
The timing adds to the risk. The recall landed near Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Many families serve turkey with gravy at that meal.
A tub bought for the holiday could sit in the fridge and be used without a second check.
The recall also came with a second one. The CFIA issued two recalls in the same weekend. The other one covered Kara Food brand Poulet Tandoori.
That chicken product also had undeclared mustard.
The Poulet Tandoori went to hotels, restaurants, and food service sites in Ontario and Quebec. It came in 10 kilogram packs. That recall was Class 2. The CFIA said the two recalls had no known link.
Canada has seen several recalls for undeclared mustard in recent months. That trend shows why label checks matter. Even small label gaps can lead to a recall.
Food safety is a habit, not a one-time check. Our guide on why frozen meat must thaw in the fridge, not on the counter covers another common kitchen risk. Our piece on whether meat that turns brown in the fridge is still safe explains a different food warning sign.
What happens next
The CFIA is running a food safety investigation. That probe may lead to more recalls. The agency is also checking that stores pull the recalled tubs from shelves.
Shoppers should check their fridge and pantry now. Look for the brand, size, UPC, and best-before codes above. If the pack matches, do not eat it.
The CFIA gives clear steps for a recalled pack. Do not serve it. Do not use it.
Do not sell it. Do not give it away.
Throw the pack out or return it to the store where you bought it. Keep it away from children and pets if you throw it out.
People who think they ate the recalled gravy should watch for allergy signs. Signs can include hives, swelling, trouble breathing, or stomach pain. Get medical help fast if signs appear.
Stores must remove the recalled tubs from sale. If you see the product on a shelf, tell the store staff. They can check the codes and pull it.
The recall also shows why recall alerts matter. A recent Amazon acetaminophen recall followed the same pattern. A small defect led to a wide alert.
Quick action kept people safe.
What to do today
Check your pack now. It takes one minute. Match the brand, size, UPC, and best-before code.
If it matches, do not serve it at any meal.
Return it or throw it out. Then wash your hands and clean any surface the gravy touched. That small step keeps the kitchen safe.
If you have a mustard allergy, be extra careful. Check other sauces and dressings too. Mustard can appear in more foods than people expect.
