CHEESE RECALL

HelloFresh meal kits recalled in Canada over Listeria concerns

, ,

Some HelloFresh meal kits have been recalled due to possible Listeria contamination in several cheese products.

Affected products include shredded parmesan, cheese curds, feta, goat cheese, and mozzarella.

According to the Government of Canada, food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness. Symptoms may include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of additional products. The agency says it is also verifying that affected items are being removed from the marketplace.

The recall was initiated by HelloFresh, and no illnesses have been reported in connection with the affected products so far.

Pistachios sold in Ontario have come under the microscope amid an ongoing salmonella scare.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for various pistachio and pistachio-related products across the province.

According to a release from the CFIA, East India brand green pistachios, Konscious Kitchen paleo and vegan pistachio bars and raw pistachio kernels from Enayat Farms and have been recalled.

The CFIA notes that “each of those companies are responsible for some, but not necessarily all, of the recalled products.”

The food inspection agency warns the recall also impacts bulk vegan pistachios sold from May 28 to June 5, which are distributed to hotels and restaurants but not sold directly to the public.

The warning advises people not to eat, sell or distribute recalled pistachios and related products.

Salmonella poisoning can cause fever, headache, nausea and abdominal cramps in healthy individuls while young children, pregnant women, seniors and those with weakened immune systems could contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.

The latest recall comes as the CFIA continues an ongoing nationwide investigation involving an outbreak of salmonella related to pistachio products across various provinces.
