What Is Being Done: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products, per the recall warning.
The CFIA is also verifying that the industry is properly and effectively removing the recalled mushroom products from the marketplace. According to the federal health agency, there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product as of March 27, 2024.
What You Need To Do: The CFIA is urging Canadian consumers to verify if they have the recalled Enoki mushroom product. If so, they should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased. Furthermore, if you think you've become sick from consuming the recalled product, it's recommended by the CFIA to contact your healthcare provider.
The health department also highlighted the symptoms to watch for associated with Listeria contamination. According to the CFIA, "food contaminated with Listeria 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."
