Frozen cut green beans recalled due to Listeria concerns
Stahlbush Island Farms Cut Green Beans sold in western provinces, Yukon and N.W.T.
A brand of frozen cut green beans sold in western provinces, Yukon and the Northwest Territories is being recalled due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The recalled product is Stahlbush Island Farms Cut Green Beans 283 g with best-by dates of 02/03/2018, 04/07/2017, 11/24/2016, 12/28/2017, and 11/06/2016.
Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the recall was triggered by a recall in another country.
Food contaminated with the bacteria Listeria may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick, with symptoms including vomiting, nausea, fever, muscle aches and severe headache.
Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk, the CFIA states. In pregnant women, Listeria can lead to miscarriage and stillbirth.
