Listeria fears prompt U.S. recall of Canadian bacon
A Canadian company is recalling about 172,000 kilograms of Canadian bacon that may be contaminated with listeria.
No illnesses have been reported from the bacon that was produced by Quebec-based Aliments Prince S.E.C.
The company did not have any immediate comment but stated there is no recall in Canada.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classifies listeriosis as a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, newborns and adults with weakened immune systems.
The U.S. Agriculture Department states the recalled products have production dates before Aug. 10, and the containers have “EST No. 169A” and “Product of Canada.”
It was sold under the names Napoli, Stefano, Bellissimo, Olymel or Assoluti cooked diced bacon.
