Multiple Salad Kits Have Been Recalled In Canada Due To 'Microbial Contamination'
Double check your fridge, everyone!
If you recently purchased a salad kit from the grocery store, you'll definitely want to double-check your items since Health Canada has just issued a slew of recalls.
On Tuesday, December 21, Health Canada issued a recall for various salads from the brand Fresh Express due to possible listeria contamination.
According to the government department, food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell like it's gone bad, but could still make you sick.
"Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness," it said. "Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die."
