“The recall is part of the ongoing investigation into 15 confirmed cases and two probable cases of E. coli O157:H7 in Alberta,” the CFIA said in an email to Global News. “The CFIA has been working closely with the Alberta Health Services, the Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada on this investigation for the purpose of identifying the source of the outbreak and taking necessary risk management actions.”
By Friday, Alberta Health Services said there were 17 lab-confirmed cases associated with the outbreak under investigation. Out of the 17 cases, four people have been hospitalized but are recovering. Those affected range in age from under one year old to 75 years old. Nine are male and eight are female.
Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
Food contaminated with E. coli may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
