Maple Leaf in the news again for Listeria

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning the public not to consume nine different wieners products because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Maple Leaf Foods, the manufacturer, is voluntarily recalling the affected products from the marketplace. The CFIA is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall, and the investigation is continuing.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products. The Public Health Agency of Canada continues to closely monitor for cases of listeriosis, but to date, there have been no increases in cases of the illness, nor detected any cases linked to this investigation.

The products listed below are affected by this alert. These products are manufactured at the Federally Registered Establishment 611, a Maple Leaf Foods plant. They can be identified by the markings L1 and EST 611 in the inkjet marking on the edge of the package. These products have been distributed nationally. Maple Leaf had a large scale recall in August 2008 as a result of Listeria.
