The CFIA says food contaminated with E. Coli may not look or smell spoiled but can still make an individual sick. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea. Severe cases of illness could see seizures or strokes, and potential kidney damage which could result in death.
The full recall list can be seen on the CFIA’s website, here.
The agency says so far there have been no illnesses related to any of the recalled products, which should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.
