CFIA recalls 7-Eleven sandwiches and wraps in Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan over possible listeria

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a food recall warning on April 14 for several 7-Eleven brand sandwiches, subs and wraps sold in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

While the recall does not involve Ontario distribution, Northeast Ontario residents may want to check purchases made while travelling in those provinces, or items brought home by visiting family members.

CFIA advised people not to consume or serve the recalled products, and not to sell or distribute them. The agency said recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Recalled items include:

• Turkey, Ham & Swiss Sub (240 g), UPC 021401 000468

The best-before codes listed for the recalled products are 2026 AL 12, 2026 AL 13, 2026 AL 14, or 2026 AL 15.

CFIA reported no illnesses associated with the products as of the time of the warning. The recalling firm is 7-Eleven Canada Inc., and CFIA said the recall was triggered by the company.

CFIA noted that food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. The agency said pregnant people, older adults and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk; in pregnancy, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or stillbirth. In severe cases, the infection can be fatal.

CFIA said it is conducting a food safety investigation that may lead to the recall of other products, and it is verifying that industry is removing recalled items from the marketplace. The recall is classified as Class 1 under identification number RA-81892.
