Co-op breads recalled due to possible listeria contamination

Affected stores are in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia and products include California Garlic Bread, Garlic/Cheese Bread and Pizza Bread.

What shoppers should do

Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. 

Pregnant women, elderly and those with weakened immune systems are at most risk. 

In severe cases, people may die.
