RECALL: Mushrooms pulled from shelves in Canada

Certain mushrooms have been recalled in Canada.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the recall was triggered by CFIA test results.

“The affected product is being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination,” a notice said.

The affected mushrooms are the Gangrongtai brand Enoki Mushroom. They’re around 200g in size, have the UPC number 6 972528 450008 and the code 2025/09/20.

They were distributed to Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and potentially other provinces or territories.

Consumers were advised to not use, sell or distribute the mushrooms.

“Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased,” the CFIA said.

“Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick,” the agency added, though there haven’t been any reported illnesses in this case.

“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, an individual could die.

The CFIA said it’s conducting a food safety investigation which could lead to additional recalls.

The agency said it is also working to verify that the mushrooms have been pulled from the marketplace.
