The CFIA said in its warning that food service establishments, retailers, distributors and manufacturers should not serve, use or sell the recalled products.
Any business or person who has the recalled products should return them to the location they were purchased.
There have been no reported illnesses associated with the products, but the agency said food contaminated with E. coli may not look or smell spoiled.
Some strains of E. coli cause symptoms familiar to food poisoning: cramping, vomiting, diarrhea and nausea.
The Beef Boutique Ltd. products were also distributed to B.C., Ontario and possibly nation-wide.
