Short-term symptoms of salmonella infection include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

“Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections,” the agency said in the recall notice.

The CFIA is now conducting a food safety investigation, which it said could lead to the recall of other products.

It said it is now working to ensure the recalled products are removed from the marketplace.
