Recall of Multiple Brands of Eggs in Canada Due to Potential Salmonella Contamination

Recall of Multiple Brands of Eggs in Canada Due to Potential Salmonella Contamination

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Burnbrae Farms, based in Lyn, Ontario, Canada, have announced a voluntary recall of multiple brands of eggs due to potential Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections in animals and humans, especially those in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.

Background

The recall was initiated after test results revealed the potential presence of Salmonella.

A food safety investigation by the CFIA is currently underway, which may lead to additional product recalls.

This is currently classified as a Class II recall, meaning that a health hazard potentially exists but the probability is low.

Distribution

The products were distributed to retail locations in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and potentially other provinces and territories.

Health Risks

No illnesses in connection with the consumption of the affected product have been reported. Any consumers who are experiencing symptoms after contact with the affected product should contact their medical provider.   

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness in humans. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, appearing six hours to six days after exposure to the bacteria. While most people recover without specific treatment, the infection can be severe, especially for young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Commenting on this article, the nation’s leading Salmonella lawyer said, “Many cases of Salmonella infection result in gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the intestines or stomach. To minimize the chance of infection, I recommend throwing out any recalled products.”
