The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a province-wide recall for a particular brand of turkey, bacon sub sandwiches due to possible listeria contamination.
The recall was issued on Wednesday afternoon and is warning people not to consume the brand Fresh and Local's turkey, bacon sub.
Affected products, with best before dates for Sept. 21, 22, 25 and 26, 2022 are being recalled from the marketplace. They were sold in British Columbia.
There have been no reported illnesses with the products so far.
What should you do if you get sick from eating the subs?
If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider.
Food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
