Packaged kale salads recalled over Listeria concerns

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says one of Eat Smart’s packaged salads has been recalled due to possible Listeria contamination.

The recall is for the 156-gram packages of Salad Shake Ups – Sweet Kale with a best before date of Dec. 3.

The agency says the affected product should be thrown out or returned to the store where it was purchased.

Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.

The agency says there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of the products so far. The CFIA is conducting an investigation which may lead to more recalls.
