Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick, Health Canada warns, listing several symptoms:
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Persistent fever
- Muscle aches
- Severe headache
- Neck stiffness
Listeria is especially dangerous for people who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems. “In severe cases of illness, people may die,” Health Canada warns.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is investigating and might recall other items.
