"A passenger indicated that he found what appeared to be a sewing needle in a sandwich prepared in advance for the flight," airline spokesman John Reber told AFP.
The July 30 flight from Victoria, British Columbia was headed to Toronto.
It follows a similar incident a few weeks ago when half a dozen needles ended up in turkey sandwiches on four Delta Air Lines flights from Amsterdam to the United States.
