The products that are the subject of this warning were offered for sale in several establishments in Montreal, Laval and Lanaudière. The salami was vacuum packed in a transparent plastic bag. All products were sold refrigerated.

The operator is recalling the products in question. He agreed with MAPAQ to broadcast this warning as a precautionary measure. Additionally, people who have one of these products in their possession are advised not to consume it. They must return it to the establishment where they purchased it or throw it away.
