Product Recalls Mississauga Should Know About
Published September 19, 2016 at 5:05 am
Although most foods and products are safe, some edibles and items slip through the cracks and when they do, it’s good to be aware so you can fix or avoid them.
Here are some recalls to be aware of while shopping this week.
1) Wild Sockeye Smoked Salmon and Sensations by Compliments Smoked Wild Pacific Salmon
Central Epicure is recalling two salmon products from the marketplace due to possible listeria contamination. If you have either of these salmon products in your home, you should not consume them. Food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell off, but it can make you ill and cause flu-like symptoms. The bacteria is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Fortunately, there have been no reported illnesses so far. If you have consumed this product and feel ill, contact your doctor.
