Listeria Alert: Salads, Cheeses Recalled Nationwide
5 Apr
Summary
- Multiple cheese products sold nationally are recalled.
- Hello Fresh meal kits recalled due to cheese contamination.
- Listeria can contaminate food without visible spoilage.
Nationwide food recalls have been issued in Canada due to concerns over possible listeria contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is alerting consumers about affected products, including salads, cheeses, and meal kits. Products like Co-Op brand creamy garlic and spinach salad with specific best-before dates are subject to recall.
Several popular cheese brands sold across the country, such as Bothwell, Goldstream, and Paradise Island, are also impacted by these listeria-related recalls. The recall has been expanded to include certain cheese ingredients found in Hello Fresh brand meal kits, initially announced last Monday.
Listeria contamination can occur without any noticeable change in the food's appearance or smell. Consumers who ingest contaminated food may experience symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and persistent fever. As of the announcement, the CFIA has confirmed no illnesses linked to these specific recalls.
