The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has expanded a recall for River Ranch Foods -brand bagged salad recalled over listeria fears.
River Ranch Foods also sells salad under the Compliments and Sensations brands.
There have been no reported illnesses.
However, Sobeys, Inc. is also warning that products made in their stores – like salads, sandwiches or wraps – could also contain contaminated lettuce.
Sobeys, Price Chopper, or Foodland stores in Ontario and IGA and Sobeys stores in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are all affected.
Food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell spoiled but the bacteria can cause foodborne illness. Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea.
Listeriosis may present itself with mild, flu-like symptoms in pregnant women but the illness can lead to premature delivery, infection in the newborn and even stillbirth.
For more information on this recall, call the Canadian Food Inspection Agency at 1-800-442-2342 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.
