At least one illness has resulted from sliced turkey and chicken products sold at Canada’s Tre Rose Bakery, which Wednesday recalled the products over possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recalled products were sliced and sold at Tre Rose Bakery, 2098 Kipling Avenue, Toronto, Ontario from September 15, 2016 to September 16, 2016, inclusively. Included in the recall are:

  • Lily O. R. Turkey, variable sizes, packed on Sept. 15
  • slicedchicken_406x250Classic Turkey, variable sizes, packed on Sept 15
  • Brandt O. R. Chicken, variable sizes, packed on Sept 6.

According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), any who thinks hey became ill from consuming these products should call their doctor.

CFIA says consumers should check to see if you have recalled products in their home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased an affected product are advised to contact the retailer.

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.

This recall was triggered by findings of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as part of an ongoing food borne illness investigation. The CFIA continues to conduct a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.
