Various chicken products are being recalled from the marketplace Canada-wide due to a possible listeria contamination.

A variety of frozen, diced Gordon Choice brand products were recalled on Oct. 9, and now the recall warning is being updated to include additional products.

The additional recall information was identified during the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) during its food safety investigation. However,  there have been no confirmed illnesses associated with the products identified.

Consumers should not consume and distributors, retailers and food service establishments such as hotels, restaurants, cafeterias, hospitals and nursing homes should not sell or use the recalled.

If you have received the recalled products and have further transformed or repackaged them, you are advised to contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.

Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor.
