More salami recalled over salmonella

Another type of salami has been recalled after a salmonella outbreak now linked to 86 illnesses and nine hospitalizations.

The vast majority of the illnesses, 67, were in Alberta, while 17 were in Ontario. The Public Health Agency of Canada reported the lone Manitoba case last month. The other case was reported in British Columbia but related to travel to Alberta.

No one has died.

Ottawa announced Monday that Rea brand soppressata sweet (lot No. 050 224) — sold in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec — has been recalled. Previously announced recalls include Rea brand sweet Genoa (lot Nos. 5035 226 and 5049 226), Rea brand hot Genoa (lots Nos. 5020 228 and 5035 228) and Bona brand mild genova (lot No. 5035 226). Those three products were sold in Alberta, Ontario and Manitoba.

Spokespeople for the federal and Manitoba governments said that for privacy reasons, they could not release more information about the Manitoba case, such as the person’s age or gender, whether they were hospitalized, when they became ill or which type of salami they ate.
