Various brands of processed shredded cheese packages, sold across Canada, are also being recalled over listeria fears. Brands of cheese include Bothwell, Goldstream, Only Goodness, Paradise Island and Sysco Reliance.
For a list of exact products and best before dates visit the Canadian Food Inspection recall lists at Canada.ca.
In a separate recall, the agency warns that cheese ingredients included in certain Hello Fresh brand meal kits may also be contaminated with listeria and have been recalled. These include shredded Parmesan, feta, goat and mozzarella cheeses and cheese curds.
The agency says people should not consume, use, sell, serve or distribute any of these recalled products.
Food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick, the agency says.
Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant people, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although pregnant people 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, according to the agency.
