The Details: It appears the sleuths at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have been up to more that just tracking E. coli outbreaks—now they’re warning Canadians that a beef burger mix from Mississauga’s Intercity Packers (East) Ltd. could be contaminated with salmonella. According to the CFIA, the mix has been distributed in both Ontario and Newfoundland, and officials in Ottawa and southern Ontario are conducting an investigation into outbreaks of salmonella-associated illnesses. Even worse, salmonella-contaminated food doesn’t necessarily look or smell spoiled, and can cause everything from fevers and chills to diarrhea and vomiting. Back to your freezers, folks. [CFIA]
