These products were sold in both Ontario and Quebec and may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Food infected with this bacterium can cause high fever, severe headaches, neck stiffness and nausea.
Listeriosis is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems.
On Monday, the CFIA issued a warning about Siena Foods salami possibly contaminated with the same bacterium.
