The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning residents of Metro Vancouver that various prepared meals are being recalled from supermarkets due to possible salmonella contamination.
T&T Supermarket Inc. is recalling various prepared meals from the marketplace due to possible salmonella contamination, explains a news release issued on Dec. 24.
The recalled products have been sold at the following stores in British Columbia:
- Osaka Supermarket, 1000-3700 No. 3 Road, Richmond
- T&T Supermarket, 147-4800 Kingsway, Burnaby
- T&T Supermarket, MAJ1-8311 Lansdowne Road, Richmond
- T&T Supermarket, 100-19705 Fraser Hwy, Langley
There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products. However, the CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation and more products may be recalled.
What you should do
- If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor
- Check to see if you have the recalled products in your home
- Do not consume the recalled products
- Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased
Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
