CALGARY – A recall warning has been issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for some Sobeys' sandwiches and chicken salads because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The CFIA issued the recall on Wednesday saying that the Listeria contamination is in diced chicken that was used in the products.
The affected products were sold in Alberta, Saskatchewan, B.C., Manitoba and Ontario at Sobeys, Safeway and IGA stores.
The recall includes a Chicken & Bacon Caesar Tortilla product that was sold only at Hudson News stores at the Calgary and Edmonton airports.
Consumers are advised to call their doctor if they think they became ill after eating one of the products.
Symptoms include; vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.
According to the recall, the diced chicken that was used was 'associated with an outbreak investigation' but officials say no confirmed illnesses have surfaced in association with the recalled products.
The CFIA says a food safety investigation is underway, which could lead to the recall of additional products.
