Deli Meat Recalled In Canada

OTTAWA- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Maple Leaf Consumer Foods are warning the public not to serve or consume certain ready-to-eat deli meat products because these products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recalled products have been distributed nationally, primarily to food service institutions such as restaurants, hospitals and nursing homes. In addition, these products may also be sold at retail and deli counters.

A number of the affected products described above are part of a listeriosis outbreak investigation. The investigation is ongoing and no direct link has been made between the affected products and human illness. However, the manufacturer, Maple Leaf Consumer Foods, has initiated a voluntary recall of all products that may be implicated in the outbreak investigation. The CFIA is working with the Public Health Agency of Canada and provincial public authorities to confirm the source of the illnesses.
