An Ontario Food Recall Is Warning Of Salmonella Poisoning & Your Greens Could Be Affected
Symptoms could include headache, fever and vomiting.
Usually health recommendations include having some greens on your plate, but the latest Ontario food recall is warning Canadians about poisoned broccoli.
According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, a recall has been issued for two Broadwood Farm brand microgreens in the province due to possible Salmonella contamination.
The products reportedly labelled Broccoli Microgreens, and Seasonal Mix Microgreens are coded with November 13, 2021, and are 75 grams to 100 grams in size, respectively.
Residents are being advised to check if they have the recalled items at home and toss them immediately.
However, if you feel you've already consumed one of the tainted products, you should call your doctor immediately.
"Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections," an excerpt from the report reads.
"Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis," it adds.
