The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a food recall warning on Saturday for several brands of shell eggs due to a potential salmonella contamination.
CTV News reports that the CFIA warned that shell eggs from brands such as Compliments, Foremost, Golden Valley, IGA and western family may contain “possible” salmonella contamination.
While the products have been distributed in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario, the report also cautions about possible circulation to other provinces and territories.
The report said, “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 weakening immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.”
The report was triggered by test results, but officials say no illnesses linked to the eggs have been reported so far.
