The pork jelly is being recalled from the marketplace as it may contain a microbial contamination of Listeria monocytogenes.

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may appear normal but can still cause illness. Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness.

Pregnant women, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk, bringing mild, flu-like symptoms. However, the infection can result in premature delivery, newborn infection or stillbirth. In severe cases, Listeria infection can be fatal.

The recall was initiated following the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s findings during its investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.

Risks: Poses health hazards.

What you should do: Throw the product in the garbage and contact a healthcare provider if you believe you’ve fallen sick from eating the pork jelly.

Imperial Fresh —Sysco Green Onion Iceless
Size: 4 x 2 lbs
Packed Date: 1-269 (September 25, 2024)

The product is being recalled from the marketplace due to possible salmonella contamination.

Contaminated food with salmonella might not show signs of spoilage but can lead to illness. Vulnerable individuals, such as young children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems, can suffer severe and fatal infections.

Common symptoms for healthy individuals include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Prolonged complications may involve severe arthritis.

Risks: Poses health hazards.

What you should do: Do not eat and throw away.

It is unclear if any individuals became ill as a result of consuming the recalled green onions.
