We are sharing the press releases and emails below from Tim Barrie of Barrie Bros.
Barrie Bros. have voluntarily recalled all of their pressure canned soups. We are happy to take back your unopened jars purchased from Bailey's Local Foods at the next pickup for a full refund.
At this time, we ask that you please join us in supporting Barrie Bros by considering purchasing their other fine products such as Stone Wheat and Vegetable Crackers, Asparagus Pasta Sauce, Asparagus Salsa and many varieties of pickles. Barrie Bros. is a local farmer who is trying to change the food system. Let's help Tim to succeed! After this recall, I trust that if there was any concern with the other products they sell we would be aware of them right away.
We are sending this notice to all members who currently choose to receive our "Standard Notification" emails and will personally email all customers who have ordered Barrie Brothers pressure canned soups through our ordering system. Our apologies if you have received this twice, but your health and safety is very important to us.
We thank you for your understanding and are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Further to the recall of our broccoli soup, as a precautionary measure, we are asking customers and retail locations to return all pressure canned soups the point of purchase for credit.
The soups were manufactured in a Guelph-area food production facility contracted by Barrie Brothers, and it has been determined that there was inadequate processing.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your assistance with this voluntary recall.
