OTTAWA — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a warning about certain processed meat products because they may be contaminated with Listeria.
The warning involves Casa Italia brand salami and prosciutto ham, several other brand meats, and Emma Provolone cheese.
The products carry various best before dates and have been distributed nationally.
The food inspection agency says there have been no reported illnesses associated with eating the meat or cheese, which is being voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer, Zadi Foods Ltd., of Brampton, Ont.
A number of the products were sold at deli counters. Anyone who has purchased the products and doesn't know the brand or best before dates is advised to check with their grocery store.
Foods contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled. Consuming them may cause listeriosis, an illness with symptoms of fever, headache, neck stiffness and nausea.
