Seven people have been hospitalized after eating salami recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
The Public Health Agency of Canada released a notice Wednesday stating that 57 people – 44 in Alberta and 13 in Ontario – got sick after eating Rea brand Genoa Salami Sweet, Rea brand Genoa Salami Hot and Bona brand Mild Genova Salami.
The federal agency said most people were ill between mid-April and late May, after eating salami in prepared sandwiches bought from deli counters.
Products were also distributed at grocery stores, specialty markets, restaurants, cafes, delis and butcher shops.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled the products in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba on June 10.
They recommend checking for the following product codes: 5035 226, 5049 226, 5020 228, 5035 228 and 5035 226.
Salmonella is a foodborne bacterial illness that can spread several days or weeks after a person is infected, even if they don’t have symptoms.
It can result in severe and potentially deadly infections, particularly for children, pregnant people, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, cramps and diarrhea.
