What to do consumers
Health authorities advise consumers not to consume, serve, use or disperse any of the products recalled. If you have purchased any, return them to the store or throw out.
If you are not sure if a food product prepared like a sandwich contains reconstructed meats, contact the purchase location.
Anyone who is diagnosed with Salmonella or who has symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal cramps should avoid preparing food for others and receive medical aid if necessary.
Salmonella Risks and Treatment
Salmonella is a bacterial disease that can cause severe disease, especially in young children, pregnant women, elderly and people with weak immune systems. It can also lead to long -term complications such as arthritis. Dirty foods may look normal or smell, but still carry bacteria.
Salmonella’s common food resources
Salmonella bacteria are most common:
- Raw or low -cooked meat and poultry animals: Contamination may occur during processing or cutting. Chicken and Türkiye are common carriers.
- Raw or less cooked eggs and egg products: Eggs may contain salmonella before the shell or shell occurs.
- Pasteurized Milk and Dairy Products: Raw milk can contain Salmonella if not pasteurized.
- Seafood: It is especially harvested from raw or contaminated water.
- Fruits and vegetables: Contamination contaminated water can be through irrigation or contact with animal feces. Examples contain sprout, melon, lettuce, tomato and spinach.
- Processed foods: Products such as flour and peanut butter from time to time are attributed to epidemics due to contamination during production or storage.
- Pet foods: Those who contain raw meat, which can indirectly infected people who manage foods.
- Contact with infected animals: reptiles, birds and some pets can carry Salmonella to people by carrying Salmonella.
To prevent Salmonella infection, appropriate cooking, good hygiene and safe food processing applications are required.
CFIA says it works to ensure that all affected products are removed from the market. Due to delays in disease reporting, more cases may be reported as the investigation continues.
