This recall coincides with a similar one in the United States where the Listeria bacteria was found at the manufacturing centre but not in any of the products they tested.

In a statement, Health Canada said there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.

Listeria contaminated food may not look or smell bad but it can make you sick.

Symptoms vary but may include vomiting, nausea, fever, muscle aches, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
