Frozen waffles are being recalled across Canada due to potential listeria contamination.

TreeHouse Foods is voluntarily recalling the frozen waffle products distributed in Canada and the United States, the company said in a press release.

The waffles were sold under many different brand names including Great Value, No Name, Price Chopper and Compliments.

There have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the recalled products as of Oct. 18. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.

This issue was discovered through routine testing at the manufacturing facility, TreeHouse Foods said.

Listeria is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people may suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. A listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
