The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning people not to eat a certain type
of salad mix because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The recalled product is Compliments
brand Italian Blend salad mix sold in 284-gram packages with a best-before date
of January 18th.
It was imported by Sobey's, and sold
in Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and
Labrador.
There are no reports of anyone
becoming ill after eating the product.
The agency says food contaminated
with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled.
However, it warns that food
contaminated with this bacteria may cause listeriosis, a potentially serious
foodborne illness.
