Several egg brands recalled due to possible Salmonella contamination

Several egg brands sold in at least five provinces are being recalled due to possible Salmonella contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says eggs with the specific lot code information sold under the Compliments, Foremost, Golden Valley Eggs, IGA, Western Family, and No Name brands in Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba are affected.

The list of eggs with the specific lot code information can be found on the CFIA website. 

The agency says the recall was triggered by test results and that no illnesses have been reported by anyone consuming the affected products.

Consumers are asked to either throw out the product or return it to the point of purchase.

“Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick,” the CFIA said in a release. “Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.

Symptoms of Salmonella can include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
