OTTAWA (NEWS 1130) — Three popular chicken products have been recalled due to a possible Listeria contamination.

The agency recalled Rosemount brand cooked diced chicken Friday.

“Consumers should not consume and distributors, retailers and food service establishments such as hotels, restaurants, cafeterias, hospitals and nursing homes should not sell or use the recalled products,” the agency says.

It urges people to throw away any chicken that may be contaminated, even if it doesn’t look or smell bad.
