Maple Leaf Foods is recalling nine wiener products because they may contain traces of the Listeria bacteria.
The wieners are produced at a Maple Leaf facility in Hamilton, under the Hygrade, Shopsy’s and Maple Leaf brand names.
The company says in a statement there have been no reported illnesses and this is a precautionary measure only.
The best-before dates on the recalled products range from Sept. 8 to Sept. 17. The dates, the number for the Hamilton plant “EST. 611” and Line 1 “L1” are on an inkjet stamp located on the edge of the packaging.
A listeriosis outbreak last summer that was traced to a Maple Leaf plant in Toronto claimed 22 lives across Canada.
Doctor Randall Huffman — the chief food safety officer at Maple Leaf — says in a statement the company is now “ultra-cautious about Listeria.”
