The food recall warning of The Deli Shop products for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination is being updated to include more brand names and products. Now, Les Spécialités Prodal (1975) Ltée is recalling different brans of pates, mousses, terrines, and rillettes. These products were sold in Ontario and Quebec at the Retail level.
These products could be purchased clerk-served from retail counters up two and including September 12, 2019, with or without a label. If you aren’t sure whether or not you have purchased these products, contact your retailer. There is zero tolerance for Listeria monocytogenes contamination in ready-to-eat products.
The recalled products are sold under brand names The Deli Shop, Paysan, Premiere moisson, and Les Spécialités Prodal (1975) Ltée. The products include liver pate in different flavors, country style pate in different flavors, poultry rillettes, duck and pork terrine, rabbit and pork terrine, rillettes du mans, and poultry liver mousse, among others. You can see the long list of recalled products, along with package sizes, pictures of the recalled products, UPC numbers, and best before dates at the CFIA web site.
The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation which may lead to the recall of more products. This recall was triggered by the company.
If you purchased any of the recalled products, don’t eat them. Throw them away in a secure garbage can, or take them back to the place of purchase for a refund.
It’s a good idea to clean out your refrigerator or freezer, or wherever you stored these products, with a mild bleach solution to kill any bacteria. Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures, and freezing doesn’t kill it. Wash your hands well with soap and water after cleaning and after handling these products.
