Some ham sausages recalled in Canada

OTTAWA, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning Ontario consumers not to eat certain ham sausages due to possible bacterial contamination.

The agency said Superior Sausage and Meat Products Ltd. initiated the recall because the products, distributed only in Ontario, might be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.

Consumers with questions can call the company at 416-531-8422 or the agency at 800-442-2342.
