Canada – Update – Various brands of frozen waffles and pancakes recalled due to Listeria monocytogenes

Posted on October 23, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Issue
Food – Microbial contamination – Listeria
What to do

Do not consume, use, sell, serve or distribute recalled products

Distribution
National

Issue

The food recall warning issued on 2024-10-21 has been updated to include additional product information. This additional information was identified during the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s food safety investigation.

The affected products are being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

What you should do

  • If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider
  • Check to see if you have recalled products
  • Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products
  • Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
