Health officials are adding Saskatchewan and British Columbia to the list of provinces where salami and cacciatore products connected to a salmonella outbreak were distributed.
The Public Health Agency of Canada says 87 people have now gotten sick after eating contaminated lunch meat, with nine of those people landing in the hospital.
The federal health agency previously reported the contaminated products were sold in Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec.
Salmonella is a bacterial illness that can result in severe and potentially deadly infections, particularly for children, pregnant people, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
Healthy people may experience short-term fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, cramps and diarrhea.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled over 65 products linked to the outbreak, including Rea brand salamis, Bona brand salamis, Cosmo’s Smoked Meats, Imperial Meats and other brands sold in grocery stores, specialty markets, restaurants, cafes, delis and butcher shops.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 19, 2025.
