The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall due to a possible salmonella contamination of certain brands of eggs in multiple provinces.
The agency says the recall covers Compliments, Foremost, Golden Valley Eggs, IGA, no name and Western Family eggs. The expiry dates for recalled eggs are Feb. 16, Feb. 22 and March 1.
British Columbia, Ontario and Manitoba are affected by the recall, and “possibly other provinces and territories.” The agency initially included Alberta and Saskatchewan, but they’ve since been removed from the recall notice.
The notice says consumers should not consume, use, serve or distribute the recalled products and are advised to throw the eggs away or contact the retailer that sold them.
The agency says food affected with salmonella might not look or smell spoiled but can still make people sick.
For healthy people, short-term salmonella symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, while the infection can be more serious or fatal for young children, pregnant women, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems.
Attention all egg consumers! Eggs have been recalled in multiple provinces due to potential salmonella contamination. It is important to check the packaging of your eggs and discard any products that may be affected.
Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious illness, including fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. It is especially dangerous for young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.
If you have purchased eggs that are part of the recall, do not consume them. Instead, return them to the store where you purchased them or dispose of them properly.
It is always important to handle and cook eggs properly to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. Make sure to wash your hands before and after handling eggs, cook them thoroughly, and refrigerate them promptly.
Stay safe and informed, and share this information with friends and family to prevent any potential health risks. Let’s all work together to keep our communities healthy and safe.
