Vasco & Co. brand Filet Royal Atlantic Smoked Salmon - 170 gram - Front, Back & Lot Code

Issue

The affected product is 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.

New report looks back on Salmonella outbreak tied to red onions in Canada

Posted on October 13, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

A recently published report has detailed the largest multi-provincial Salmonella outbreak in Canada in more than two decades, linking 515 confirmed cases to contaminated red onions imported from the United States.

The outbreak, which occurred between June and August 2020, affected residents across seven provinces, with 19 percent of those infected requiring hospitalization. The findings, outlined in a report from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and other health agencies, underscore the complexity of foodborne illness investigations and the challenges posed by fresh produce contamination.

A separate report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2020, found that a sheep farm was likely a contributing factor in the contamination of the onions.

Why is Salmonella such a risk for those over 65?

Posted on October 12, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Poison Journal

Salmonella poses a heightened risk for individuals over 65 years of age due to several key factors: Read more at the link above.

As people age, their immune systems naturally weaken, making them more vulnerable to infections, including those caused by Salmonella. The body’s ability to fight off harmful bacteria diminishes, increasing the chances of severe infection.

Research – Studies reveal impact of Saudi botulism outbreak

Posted on October 12, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Scientists have provided more detail on some of those sickened in a botulism outbreak in Saudi Arabia earlier this year.

The study covered the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of 19 people who were suspected and eight cases that met the case definition for botulism as part of the outbreak that affected a total of 75 people in Riyadh. Foodborne botulism has not been previously reported in Saudi Arabia.

All patients referred to Riyadh First Health Cluster Hospitals between April 22 to 25, with gastrointestinal symptoms, respiratory distress, or descending paralysis after consuming mayonnaise from the popular Hamburgini burger restaurant chain were admitted for assessment and care.
