Taylor Fresh Canada Foods┬аbrand has recalled a sweet kale salad product due to Salmonella risk, Canadian officials say.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency┬а(CFIA) said on Monday that Taylor Farmers Sweet Kale Chopped Kit sold in 340 gram bags are being recalled from the marketplace┬аdue to possible Salmonella┬аcontamination.
The recall notice includes a certain UPC code and┬аbest before dates.
Affected products were distributed in New Brunswick,┬аNewfoundland and Labrador,┬аNova Scotia,┬аOntario and┬аQuebec, CFIA said.┬а
The agency said the recall was triggered by CFIA test results.
“There┬аhave been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of┬аthis┬аproduct,” CFIA said.
Consumers who think they became sick from consuming a recalled product are advised to contact their healthcare provider. CFIA also advised:
- 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 salmonella┬аmay not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
A Winnipeg biotech company has developed a cocktail of viruses that kill E. coli and salmonella in chickens. Also known as phages, it’s believed the cocktail could be used to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria that infect people.
Salmonella symptoms include a sudden onset of headache, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and sometimes vomiting.┬аLong-term complications may include severe arthritis.
