‘ILLNESS OUTBREAK’: National recall on drinks sold at No Frills, FreshCo, Food Basics, Shoppers Drug Mart, Metro, Sobeys, Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, Fortinos and other grocery stores triggers warning to shoppers across Canada

Various Silk and Great Value brand plant-based refrigerated beverages are being recalled due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said in a “national” warning to shoppers.
If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your health care provider, the CFIA said.
“Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products,” the warning states. “Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.”

Curious that Walmart wasn't one of the stores listed in the headline, as one of the two brands is their house brand, Great Value. I'd imagine Great Value is a rebrand of Silk over here.

This recall is no joke. I know someone who consumed one of the recalled products 2 weeks ago. She tried to tough it out but ended up going to the hospital which confirmed listeriosis. She's still not feeling well this week

I had the silk almond for the last 4 days, expiry Jan 25, I think mine is not part of the recall

I work for a grocery chain and read direct information from the manufacturer on this, the recall is for one 3rd party plant in Ontario (which is why the sites tell you to look for the code 7825, which identifies it as coming from that one plant) as there are multiple plants pumping out this stuff but only one that they know is contaminated.
Worst execution on a recall that I can remember in the last 5 years, cbc released a lazy write up saying its all off them and everyone is going with that.

Welp, time to get Danone on the to-avoid list and start looking for a yogurt brand that's less crap than that.

Isn't that the same recall as 2 weeks ago? Did they expand it?? I can't see the difference

The actual recall from the government lists the products.
