The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has announced recalls due to possible listeria contamination affecting products including salads, cheese and meal kits.
The agency says Co-Op brand creamy garlic and spinach salad, sold in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan with best-before dates between March 24 and April 4 are recalled and should not be consumed.
Numerous cheese products sold nationally, including Bothwell shredded three-cheese nacho blend in 400-gram and one-kilogram quantities, Goldstream cheddar style shredded processed cheese product, and Paradise Island brand Asiago shredded cheese are also among the recalls over listeria concerns.
A recall for some cheese ingredients included in certain Hello Fresh brand meal kits, sold across Canada has also been expanded from an earlier one issued last Monday.
Complete lists of affected products are available on the CFIA website.
Listeria can contaminate a food product without making it appear spoiled, and those who consume those foods may develop symptoms including vomiting, nausea and persistent fever, although the CFIA says there have been no reported illnesses associated with any of the recalls.
