Several plant-based milks are being recalled in Canada due to potential Listeria contamination, leading to illnesses reported across the country. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a nationwide recall for 18 beverages from the brands Silk and Great Value, including almond, oat, coconut, and cashew milks. The recall was prompted by an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak, with the CFIA warning consumers not to drink the affected products with expiry dates up to and including Oct. 4 due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of food safety and the potential risks associated with consuming products that may be contaminated. The CFIA’s swift action in recalling the affected plant-based milks demonstrates their commitment to protecting the health and well-being of Canadians. It is crucial for consumers to stay informed about recalls and take necessary precautions to avoid any potential health risks.
Global’s Catherine McDonald provides more details on the recall, urging consumers to visit the CFIA’s website for further information.
