Prima Wawona brand peaches from the United States are being recalled across Canada due to a possible Salmonella contamination.

Overall, 11 different UPC coded products are being recalled, and a complete list can be viewed online.

Peaches with the same PLU numbers and that were produced in Canada are not affected.

Foods that are contaminated with Salmonella might not look or smell rotten but have the ability to make you sick, according to the food agency website.

The recall was triggered by a recall in the United States by the company. The CFIA says it is conducting an investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products in the future.
