A recall has been issued for some frozen raspberry products sold at a Toronto grocery store chain over concerns of possible norovirus contamination.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the recall applies to frozen raspberries, frozen berry mix, frozen smoothie mix and protein power pod raspberry sold at Summerhill Market locations in Toronto and Aurora, Ont. The chain describes itself as “Toronto’s premier boutique grocery store.”
The products, all branded with the Summerhill Market name, were sold between July 29 and Sept. 15.
“Do not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute recalled products,” the agency says on its website.
The recalled products were sold at the following Summerhill Market locations: 446 Summerhill Ave.; 3609 Dundas St. W.; 484 Eglinton Ave. W.; 1054 Mount Pleasant Rd.; 1014 Bathurst St.; and 32 Wellington St. W. in Aurora.
According to the agency, the recall was triggered by findings from its investigation into an outbreak of foodborne illness but it said no one has reportedly become sick due to consuming the products.
“People with norovirus illness usually develop symptoms of gastroenteritis within 24 to 48 hours, but symptoms can start as early as 12 hours after exposure,” the agency says. “The illness often begins suddenly. Even after having the illness, you can still become re-infected by norovirus.”
Main symptoms of norovirus illness are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach cramps. Other symptoms may include low-grade fever, headache, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.
Most people feel better within one or two days, with symptoms usually resolving on their own, the agency says.
