Health officials have added British Columbia and Saskatchewan to the list of provinces where salami and cacciatore products linked to a salmonella outbreak were distributed.
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, 87 people have become ill after consuming the contaminated deli meats, with nine requiring hospitalization.
Previously, the federal agency had identified Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec as provinces where the affected products were sold.
Salmonella is a bacterial infection that can cause serious and potentially fatal illness, especially in young children, pregnant individuals, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems. In healthy individuals, symptoms may include a temporary fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled over 65 products associated with the outbreak. These include salamis from brands such as Rea, Bona, Cosmo’s Smoked Meats, Imperial Meats, and others that were sold at grocery stores, specialty markets, restaurants, cafes, delis, and butcher shops.
