    Burger recall expands to Nunavut and Yukon

    CBC – Fri, 24 Feb, 2012

    Frozen hamburgers which could be contaminated with E.coli were distributed in Co-op, TGP, and Loblaws-owned stores in Nunavut, N.W.T. and Yukon, according to officials.

    On Monday, the Canada Food Inspection Agency issued an advisory that 1-kilogram packages of Country Morning brand beef burgers sold by N.W.T. co-op stores could be contaminated with E.coli O157:H7 bacteria.

    The recall also affected 2.27-kg packages of No-Name Club Pack Beef Steakettes distributed by Loblaws to stores in southern provinces.

    The CFIA has now expanded the list of stores to include co-ops and TGPs in Nunavut and Yukon, and Loblaws-owned stores in N.W.T., Nunavut and Yukon.

    Food contaminated with E.coli may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with this strain of E.coli bacteria can cause potentially life-threatening illness.

    Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea, usually within three to four days but possibly up to 10 days after eating contaminated food.
