Quebec's agriculture ministry is urging people not to consume several meat products sold by a slaughterhouse in Shawville, Que.

The warning issued Thursday by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food covers several cuts of beef, along with cattle offal and sheep carcass products, that were packaged at Les Viandes du Pontiac from March 7 to 11.

The animals were slaughtered without respecting the inspection process and the products may be unsafe to eat, the ministry said in a French-language advisory.

The warning covers all cattle offal products; beef cuts with the tracing numbers 5827, 5828, 5829; and sheep products with the number 504765086.

Anyone who purchased those products should throw them out, even if they smell fine and don't show signs of spoilage, the ministry said.

The warning is a precautionary one, the ministry added, with no cases of illness yet reported.

Dairy worker bird flu case shows need for protective gear, US CDC study shows
The Texas dairy farm worker infected with H5N1 bird flu was not wearing respiratory or eye protection and had been exposed to cattle that appeared to have the same symptoms as those in a nearby farm with a confirmed outbreak of the virus, according to new details on the case released on Friday. The details, reported online in the New England Journal of Medicine, underscore the risk to farm workers in the ongoing outbreak among U.S. dairy cattle and the need to wear protective gear to avoid infection. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the report said the farm worker developed a serious infection in his right eye known as conjunctivitis, or pink eye, but had no signs of respiratory infection or fever.
