The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has announced a recall 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-by dates between March 24 and April 4, has been recalled and should not be consumed.
Several cheese products sold nationally, including Bothwell shredded three-cheese nacho blend in 400 gram and one kilogram quantities, Goldstream Cheddar style shredded processed cheese products, and Paradise Island brand Asiago shredded cheese are also among those recalled due to listeria concerns.
The recall of certain cheese ingredients included in some Hello Fresh brand meal kits sold across Canada has also been expanded from an earlier one issued last Monday.
A full list of affected products is available on the CFIA website.
Listeria can contaminate a food product without it spoiling, and people who consume those foods may develop symptoms including vomiting, nausea and persistent fever, though the CFIA says no illnesses associated with any of the recalls have been reported.
