Some cauliflower, red and green lettuce sold in Canada recalled after U.S. investigation


READ MORE

Due to a possible E-coli contamination, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency says certain cauliflower, red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce products produced by Adam Bros. Farming Inc. of Santa Maria, Calif., have been recalled.


In a news release, the CFIA said the products imported by distributors​ in Ontario and Quebec should not be consumed, sold or used by consumers, retailers, restaurants or institutions. 


The CFIA says food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick. The symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea. 


Thus far, there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products, according to the agency.   



The products are known to have been sold in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador and may have been sold in other provinces.


The distributors are Courchesne Larose Ltd. in Anjou, Que., Dominion Citrus in Toronto, Fresh Taste Produce Limited in Milton, Ont., and Fruits et Légumes Gaé​tan Bono Inc., in Montreal. 


The recall was triggered by a recall in the United States which was the result of an earlier investigation into a food-borne illness outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 linked to the consumption of romaine lettuce.

The recalled products include: 


Adam Brothers Family Farms cauliflower, which is wrapped and has the Adam Brothers Family Farms logo but no coding information. The variable carton tag numbers:


  • 203-27263 331-18;

  • 203-27263 332-18;

  • 203-27263 333-18;

  • 203-27263 334-18;

  • 203-27268 334-18;

  • 204-27268 332-18.

The green leaf lettuce was sold in bulk without a brand name. The carton tag numbers are:  


  • 204-27247 331-18;

  • 253-27268 331-18;

  • 204-27268 331-18;

  • 204-27268 332-18.

The red leaf lettuce was sold in bulk without a brand name. The carton tag numbers are:


  • 253-27267 331-18;

  • 204-27267 331-18;

  • 203-27267 331-18.

The CFIA says it’s working with the United States Food and Drug Administration, and is conducting a food safety investigation, which could lead to the recall of other products. 


The agency says if anyone is unsure whether products they bought are included in this recall, they should contact the location where they were purchased.


The product should be thrown out or returned to the place where it was sold.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

Toronto man denies conspiring with Marvel CEO in alleged hate mail scheme

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
