Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk."

The CFIA says it is verifying that the industry is removing all recalled products from the marketplace, but urges consumers not to eat, serve or sell any of these products. "The recalled products may have been sold by various retailers, either clerk-served, sliced, chunked or in smaller packages, with or without a label that may not bear the same brand, product name or best before date," it says. "Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased the recalled product are advised to contact their retailer."
