The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a series of food recalls involving cheese products, salads, and meal kits due to possible listeria contamination.
The recalls affect a range of items sold nationally, including shredded cheese products such as Bothwell’s three-cheese nacho blend, Goldstream cheddar-style processed cheese, and Paradise Island Asiago shredded cheese.
The agency has also expanded a previous recall involving certain cheese ingredients used in HelloFresh meal kits distributed across Canada.
Officials note that while a Co-Op brand creamy garlic and spinach salad is also included in the recall, it was not sold in Ontario.
Listeria contamination can occur without visible signs of spoilage, and those who consume affected products may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and fever.
At this time, the CFIA says no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled products. Consumers are encouraged to check the CFIA website for a full list of affected items and to avoid consuming any recalled products.
