As the death toll continues to rise, Maple Leaf Foods remains transparent as to which of its products could be effected by the listeriosis outbreak. The company has now released a complete list of products that may be tainted with the listeriosis bacteria. It is an exhaustive list of both brand name and generic products that are sold nationwide at grocery stores and wholesale outlets like Costco.
A complete list of recalled products from Maple Leaf Foods, Atlantic Prepared Foods Ltd., Royal Touch Foods and Metro Ontario Inc., with applicable product code, product name, UPC code, package size and best before dates.
The recalled products have an establishment number of 97B and carry best-before dates up to and including the dates listed.
The listeriosis threat spreads across several apparently competing products under well-known consumer brand names like; Schnieders, Burns, Maple Leaf, Bitners, Hickory Farms, Shopsys and Overlander, as well as several store-based generic brands like; Safeway's Artisan and Deli Select brands, Overwaitea/Save-on-Foods Western Family brand, and Costco's Kirkland brand. Some restaurant chains may also be impacted. Restaurants like Boston Pizza, Tim Horton's and McDonald's serve Maple Leaf foods products in some of their menu items.

Hazel, I like this story. "listeriosis outbreak", thanks important warning. this time I am not concerned in EU. I was surprised how many companies are on the list, they have all one supplier ?

It's awful about the recall - imagine death from just eating a sandwich...

The more people are informed about these things the better.

The solution is to only buy fresh organic foods, and then freeze them yourself - if you must.
I just looked at the LONG list of recalled foods and see that they are mostly PROCESSED meats. Most large chains do not provide A-Grade mean products. (There are 5 grades–where I live.)
I never touch that stuff, unless I know it is A-Grade, and the only way to know that is to know your supplier's business practices - which is usually a small specialty supplier with one or two outlets, who bake and smoke their own A-Grade meats. We have them here where I live in Melbourne, Australia. I imagine they'd be there in sophisticated Toronto too –Melbourne's Sister city.:)
