The recall was triggered by a CFIA investigation and the agency is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. However, no illnesses have been reported so far.
If you think you became sick from a recalled product, call your doctor.
Recall products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but it can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
