The recalled products have been sold in Alberta and Ontario, and may have been distributed in other provinces and territories.

Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
