A dozen different brands of oysters recalled in Mississauga, Brampton and area
Published October 2, 2022 at 3:57 pm
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled a dozen different brands of oysters due to the possible contamination of salmonella.
The brands are all owned by Oysters Kings Incorporated, an oyster production facility that runs out of New Brunswick.
The oysters in question were all harvested and packaged on Sept. 8 or 9, coming from harvest zone: MS-0370/NB5G.
Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.
Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
