The products that are the subject of this warning were offered for sale only at the establishment designated above. The products were packaged in a plastic container. They were sold refrigerated.
The operator is recalling the products in question. It has agreed with MAPAQ to issue this warning as a precautionary measure. In addition, 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. Food contaminated with generic E. coli bacteria does not necessarily have any visible alteration or suspicious odor, but can still make a person who consumes it sick. Possible symptoms include nausea, vomiting, more or less severe abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.
It should be noted that no cases of illness associated with the consumption of these foods have been reported to MAPAQ to date.
