Continued And Additional Meat Recalls Hit Close To Home

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is continuing its investigation into the meat industry and issuing more and more recalls over concerns of E.Coli contamination. In the latest batches of recalls are a few items that hit close to home; including one from the Brant Food Centre.

As well as another sold by Walmart throughout Ontario and Alberta.

You are being advised not to consume these products, or any of the products in the recalls found here, and here; there is also a master list of all the E.Coli recalls you can search through here.

Check to see if you have the recalled products in your home or establishment. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased. If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor. Food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea. In severe cases of illness, some people may have seizures or strokes, need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis or live with permanent kidney damage. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing the recalled products from the marketplace. This recall was triggered by the CFIA’s inspection activities. The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.
