Health Canada has issued a recall for Enoki mushrooms sold in 200g packages with the CE 04 7D product number.

Health Canada warned that foods contaminated with the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria won’t necessarily look or smell spoiled, but they can still make people sick.
Symptoms of the illness include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscles aches, severe headaches and neck stiffness.
The bacteria poses a greater risk for pregnant women, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
“Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth,” the recall notice said.
“In severe cases of illness, people may die.”
