The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a recall warning on June 29, 2025, for several Peeters Mushroom Farm brand sliced mushroom products due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The recalled items were distributed in Ontario and Quebec.

According to the CFIA, food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not appear spoiled but can still cause illness. The agency states that symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. The CFIA advises that pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.

The following products are included in the recall, according to the CFIA:

• Thick Sliced Mushroom, 2.27 kg, Code 175 190 (no UPC)

The CFIA reports that no illnesses associated with the recalled products have been reported so far. The recall was triggered by test results from the agency. The CFIA is carrying out a food safety investigation and verifying that the recalled products are being removed from retail locations and other points of distribution.

The CFIA advises consumers not to consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute these products, and to discard recalled items or return them to the place of purchase.

The products were produced by Wiet Peeters Farm Products Limited and were distributed to retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and institutions in both Ontario and Quebec.
