The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the recall was triggered by findings during an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak. It says there have been reported illnesses that may be associated with the consumption of the product. Further lab testing is underway to confirm the link.
Food contaminated with listeria can cause vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headaches and neck stiffness.
