OTTAWA – There has been a widening of a walnut recall as the investigation into a deadly E.coli outbreak continues.
The latest recall, announced late Friday, affects shelled walnuts as well as halves and pieces imported from the United States and sold at Kim’s Mart, Triple A Market and New Triple A in the Vancouver area.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the move is related to an earlier recall of walnuts distributed by Montreal-based Amira Enterprises Inc.
Quebec health authorities said Thursday that one person had died in the province after being stricken with an E. coli infection, apparently linked to walnuts.
Besides the fatality, 13 other people have fallen sick from the same infection, including nine in Quebec.
There are also two each in Ontario and New Brunswick.
