Food that’s been contaminated by salmonella doesn’t necessarily look or smell spoiled. The food inspection agency warns that young children, pregnant women, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems can contract serious or deadly infections if they consume food with salmonella. Other symptoms of salmonella poisoning include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. It can also have long-term effects, such as severe arthritis.
This recall was issued following an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak, and the CFIA said it is making sure all of the products are being taken out of stores.
