(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/29/11 -- Audio clips available at .
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning the public not to consume the Organic Grape Tomatoes described below because
the product may be contaminated with Salmonella.
The following Organic Grape Tomatoes, sold in plastic clam shell containers and supplied by Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce, San Diego, California, are affected by this alert:
These tomatoes are known to have been distributed in British Columbia and Ontario.
However, they may have been further distributed in other provinces.
There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product.
Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause salmonellosis, a foodborne illness. In young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, salmonellosis may cause serious and sometimes deadly infections. In otherwise healthy people, salmonellosis may cause short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
The importers are voluntarily recalling the affected product from the marketplace. The CFIA is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall.
For more information consumers and industry can call the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342 / TTY 1-800-465-7735 (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday to Friday).
