Recall underway of Scotian Gold apple slices, Report

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Scotian Gold Co-operative Limited are recalling Scotian Gold brand apple slices that used apples sourced from the U.S. that are recalled for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

In a media release issued Saturday, the CFIA said there are three items on the recall list: 300-gram packets of Tart Apple Slices, 454-gram Apple Snacks to Go and 907-ram Apple Slices and Caramel Dip. The best before dates are up to Jan. 23 or Jan. 26.

The items may not look or smell spoiled, according to the CFIA, but can still make you sick. Nausea, vomiting, headaches or muscle aches can be a result of consuming these products and the results can be more severe for pregnant women, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems.

In severe cases, people could die, the release states.

The agency said there have been no confirmed illnesses tied to the products.

Anyone who has the products is asked to return them for a refund or throw them out. The CFIA are verifying that the items are being removed from store shelves. The Granny Smith and Gala apples are exported by Bidart Bros. in the United States.
