Smoked salmon product recalled over listeria risks

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has warned that a smoked salmon product manufactured by True North Salmon Co. Ltd, located in New Brunswick, should be recalled from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The CFIA warns consumers should not consume the recalled product, branded Toppers Smoked Salmon Flakes, which is seasoned with lemon and dill.

In addition, the agency advises those who think they have became sick from consuming a recalled product should call the doctor.

The CFIA also recommends to check and see if one has a recalled product at home and if that is the case, it should be thrown out or returned to the store where it was purchased.

The Canadian body informs that food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make consumers sick.

Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

The CFIA informed it has started conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products and is verifying that industry is removing recalled product from the marketplace.
