Farming Smarter near Lethbridge got a boost to its research equipment, thanks to the Alberta government’s increase in funding for research associations.
The recall was triggered by an Alberta Health Services investigation, supported by the CFIA, the agency said in an April 24 news release.
Those who have purchased the recalled products should throw them out or return them to place of purchase. E. coli ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
Another recall, affecting Alberta and British Columbia, involves Greenbelt Microgreens that may be contaminated with listeria.
The CFIA said there have been no illnesses reported in connection with eating the microgreens, and the recall was triggered by the company.
Nineteen different microgreens are subject to recall, among them various mixes as well as broccoli, pea shoots, sunflower sprouts, wheatgrass and spring pea.
A full list of the recalled microgreens can be found here.
Symptoms from listeria ingestion are similar to those of E. coli, along with persistent fever, muscle aches and headache or neck stiffness.
As with other recalls, consumers who have purchased the microgreens should discard them or return them to place of purchase.
