One of six people hospitalized after eating processed meat contaminated with listeria has died.
The six cases have been linked to food sold at Foody World in Richmond, said Claudia Kurzac, manager of health protection with Vancouver Coastal Health.
Foody World was closed Friday by VCH and remains shuttered, she said. The death occurred earlier this month.
“In our investigation of the store, we did an inspection and had concerns about food handling and sanitation,” Kurzac said.
“We collected samples of food and environmental samples from the kitchen on the (Oct.) 7th, and on the 14th we heard from the lab. Preliminary results were that some (samples) were positive for Listeria.”
Listeria was found in processed, ready-to-eat pork and beef.
