(Health Canada) What is salmonella? Salmonella is a food-borne bacterial illness that can spread several days or weeks after a person is infected, even if they don't have symptoms. According to Health Canada, short-term symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Severe arthritis is a possibility in long-term complications. Those with weakened immune systems, children, pregnant women and the elderly could contract serious and sometimes deadly infections from salmonella. Food containing salmonella may not look or smell off but can still cause illness. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says most people who become ill from a salmonella infection can recover fully after a few days without treatment, while in other cases it can cause severe illness and hospitalization. Consumers are advised to stay vigilant and updated on the recalls by visiting the Government of Canada's Recalls and Safety Alerts page.

Salmonella outbreak reaches Manitoba
A case of salmonella in Manitoba has been linked to salami recalls. The Public Health Agency of Canada said in a news release Tuesday that the Manitoba case is one of 72 laboratory-confirmed cases linked to the outbreak. The vast majority, 57, were in Alberta, while 14 were in Ontario. People became sick between mid-April and mid-June, the release said. Seven people have been hospitalized, and no one has died. The release did not state whether anyone in Manitoba was hospitalized. 'Many people who became sick reported eating salami in prepared sandwiches or purchased from deli counters where the recalled product was served,' the release said. The recalled salami includes Rea brand sweet Genoa (lot Nos. 5035 226 and 5049 226), Rea brand hot Genoa (lots Nos. 5020 228 and 5035 228) and Bona brand mild genova (lot No. 5035 226). The strain associated with the outbreak is resistant to certain antibiotics. More information is available online here. SUPPLIED

More salami recalled over salmonella
Another type of salami has been recalled after a salmonella outbreak now linked to 86 illnesses and nine hospitalizations. The vast majority of the illnesses, 67, were in Alberta, while 17 were in Ontario. The Public Health Agency of Canada reported the lone Manitoba case last month. The other case was reported in British Columbia but related to travel to Alberta. No one has died. Ottawa announced Monday that Rea brand soppressata sweet (lot No. 050 224) — sold in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec — has been recalled. Previously announced recalls include Rea brand sweet Genoa (lot Nos. 5035 226 and 5049 226), Rea brand hot Genoa (lots Nos. 5020 228 and 5035 228) and Bona brand mild genova (lot No. 5035 226). Those three products were sold in Alberta, Ontario and Manitoba. Spokespeople for the federal and Manitoba governments said that for privacy reasons, they could not release more information about the Manitoba case, such as the person's age or gender, whether they were hospitalized, when they became ill or which type of salami they ate.
