According to a statement by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you stick.

“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.”

Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Anyone who believes they’ve become sick from consuming the product should call their doctor immediately.

The CFIA is verifying that the product is being completely removed from the marketplace. At this time, there have been no reported illnesses.
