Don't know about canada, but have really stopped eating a lot meat here in the US that isn't local. The way or systme is set up, if there is an out break they don't tell anyone and don't send out any warnings about what company/label is have the problem. So even though we know there may be an outbreak, there is no way of stopping it cold because peopleare still buying infected meat.

Since our system is a joke in the matter, My family and I only purchase Beef and Pork from local ranchers, to whom we'd rather give our support. And my local FOOD CO*OP has really good protien options too. I mean, don't knock tofu until you have had it cooked well.

Okay, I'm done.

Symptoms of listeriosis include nausea, vomiting, cramps and fever.



"Food that's contaminated with listeria doesn't always look like it's spoiled and the bacteria can also proliferate when it's in the fridge," said Dr. Vinita Dubey of Toronto Public Health. "So it's important for individuals to make sure they heat their food, especially cold cuts and deli meats, properly."



The recalled products were produced from June 2 onward.



The 23 products have an establishment number of 97B and have best before dates ranging from Sept. 30 to Jan. 1, 2009.

The products that are part of the recall have been distributed to nursing homes, delis and restaurants across Canada, including McDonald's and Mr. Sub.



McDonald's has temporarily removed its turkey BLT sandwich from its menu while the investigation into the cause of the bacteria outbreak continues.

The sad part it is not what just buy but was also given to nursing homes and sub places who did not know about the recall until later, was never notified.

Turkey BLT ....at Mc Donalds???? Hope it stays in Canada. Never heard of it here!!

Its Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich..very good
