A food recall warning issued May 9 has been expanded to include ground pork and turkey products from a Vancouver meat processor.

Killarney Market is now voluntarily recalling pork and turkey products, in addition to ground beef, due to possible contamination with E. coli 0157:H7. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency gave notice of the expanded recall Monday.

The meat involved was distributed only in British Columbia. There have been no reported illnesses related to eating the products.

The CFIA is continuing its investigation of the matter. The recall was triggered by test results.

A complete list of the recalled products, all with sell-by dates from May 5 to 13, is available on the CFIA website.

Those who have purchased the products should destroy them or return them to place of purchase.
