CANADIAN PRISONS EXPOSED TO LISTERIA

November 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Food Borne Illness, Food Safety, Listeria

It seems uncanny that Canada could have yet another round of listeria problems, but UPI reports that in routine testing of food from Eurest Dining Services, traces of listeria were discovered.

The company supplies meat to, among other places, correctional institutions in Ontario. The acting chief of health services for the province has warned those who may have been exposed to such meats earlier in the month to seek medical attention if they develop symptoms of listeriosis –diarrhea, nausea, fever, severe headaches and a stiff neck.

So far, no cases have been reported.
