It advised not to 'consume, use, sell, serve or distribute' the meat, which made its way to grocery stores and specialty markets before the food recall was issued. It also advised the meat 'may have been used in prepared products like sandwiches or sold at deli counters,' as it also made its way to restaurants, cafés, delis and butcher shops before the food recall was issued. The previous release was issued June 11. People started getting sick 'between mid-April and mid-June 2025,″ the Public Health Agency of Canada said, and 'more recent illnesses may continue to be reported.' Symptoms of salmonellosis develop six to 72 hours after eating products infected with the bacteria and can include chills, fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps.
