I'm sure everyone has heard about this by now, but just in case...
Health officials confirmed Wednesday that one person has died and at least 16 others got sick from listeriosis.
As of Wednesday, some 23 products, including a variety of turkey, smoked meat and roast beef products, were subject to a recall.
The Public Health Agency of Canada said 17 cases of the Listeria monocytogenes strain have been identified across Canada, including 13 in Ontario, two in B.C., one in Saskatchewan and one in Quebec. No further details about the person who died in Ontario have been disclosed.
Brand names for the recalled products include Schneiders, Sure Slice, Deli Gourmet and Burns Bites. A complete list of affected products is available on both the Maple Leaf Foods website and that of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Guess it's peanut butter for sandwiches from now on.
