Headcheese is a deli product made from meat from the head of a pig with a mix of gelatin and spices.
Both the BC Center for Disease Control and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are now warning the public about Freybe headcheese. Canadians are being advised to either discard it or return it to the place of purchase.
