Peeters Sliced Mushrooms Recalled in Ontario, Quebec Over Listeria Risk

Peeters Mushroom Farm has recalled its sliced mushrooms distributed in Ontario and Quebec due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, based on Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) test results. The recall affects products with best before dates of July 4, 2025, and includes sliced mushrooms and cremini sliced mushrooms. Listeria contamination may not be apparent through smell or appearance but can cause severe illness, especially in pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, potentially leading to premature delivery, newborn infection, or death. Consumers are advised not to consume, serve, or distribute the recalled products, and to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase. The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation which may result in further recalls and is monitoring the removal of affected products from the market. No illnesses have been reported so far related to this recall.
