The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has posted a complete list of all of the recalled products produced by New Food Classics. More than 130 products are included in the recall. The products may be contaminated with E. coli 0157:H7.
New Food Classics went bankrupt on January 17, 2012, just one month before the company learned that one case of E. coli 0157:H7 had been linked to their products. The producer and its companies are in liquidation.
