The agency says there are 57 lab-confirmed cases of Salmonella illness linked to the outbreak, including 13 in Ontario and 44 in Alberta.
It says people became sick between mid-April and late May, with seven people hospitalized.
Officials say products were distributed to:
- Grocery stores
- Specialty markets
- Restaurants and cafes, delis, and butcher shops
These products may have been used and sold in prepared products like sandwiches or at deli counters.
