OTTAWA – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is advising people not to consume Kirkland Signature brand grilled chicken breast strips due to possible listeria contamination.

The recalled product was sold in 500-gram packages with a UPC code of 0-96619-70787-4 and best before dates of April 13 to April 26.
CFIA says there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of the chicken but anyone who has the product at home should throw it out or return it to the store where it was purchased.
The recall was triggered by CFIA test results and the agency says it is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.
Experts say food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
