CHEESE RECALL

HelloFresh meal kits recalled in Canada over Listeria concerns

, , , , , ,

Some HelloFresh meal kits have been recalled due to possible Listeria contamination in several cheese products.

Affected products include shredded parmesan, cheese curds, feta, goat cheese, and mozzarella.

According to the Government of Canada, food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness. Symptoms may include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of additional products. The agency says it is also verifying that affected items are being removed from the marketplace.

The recall was initiated by HelloFresh, and no illnesses have been reported in connection with the affected products so far.
