It could be from either place.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ), in collaboration with the Food Inspection Division of the City of Montreal and Zinman Marché de poultry St-Dominique, has issued a recall for dry sausages sold by the company due to potential Staphylococcus aureus contamination. The issue was discovered … See More
during routine inspections by the Food Inspection Division of the City of Montreal. The company is voluntarily recalling the products and has agreed to broadcast this warning as a precautionary measure. They were available for purchase until March 22, 2024, exclusively at the company's location at 7010, rue Saint-Dominique, in Montreal. As of now, no cases of illness associated with the consumption of these foods have been reported to MAPAQ.

The recalled product is the dry sausage prepared and sold by Zinman Marché de Poultry St-Dominique. The sausages were sold vacuum-packed in transparent plastic bags and refrigerated. Product Names:

- Soft Dry Sausage / Best before September 16, 2024
- Strong Dry Sausage / Best before September 16, 2024

Do not consume, serve, sell, or distribute recalled products. If you purchased this product, we recommend that you return it to the store where it was purchased.

Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to as "Staph," is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning. It is a versatile human pathogen capable of causing a variety of illnesses, including staphylococcal food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, pneumonia, postoperative wound infection, and nosocomial bacteremia.

In case you are experiencing Staph food poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Drinking lots of fluids especially water will help their bodies to flush out the poisons and/or the pathogens that caused the sickness quickly.

Prolife Foods Limited is recalling specific batches of its Value Pack and Refill Pack products containing peanuts as these products contain levels of aflatoxin above the allowable level. The products are sold in selected supermarkets and retail outlets throughout New Zealand. The products are not sold at … See More
Countdown and Woolworths stores.

The recalled products are sold in clear plastic packaging:
- Value Pack brand and VP brand Nuts and Raisins 400g. Best Before 29 SEP 2024
- Value Pack brand and VP brand Roasted Salted Peanuts 400g. Best Before 08 OCT 2024 and 15 OCT 2024
- Value Pack brand Roasted Salted Peanuts 750g. Best Before 08 OCT 2024
- Refill Pack Roasted Nut Mix 850g. Best Before 05 OCT 2024
- Refill Pack Raw Nut Mix 850g. Best Before 05 OCT 2024

Customers are asked to check the date mark on the product and check at the place of purchase. Affected product should not be consumed. Customers should return the product to their retailer for a full refund.

Aflatoxins are naturally occurring in many food products and are produced by a group of moulds that grow on foods produced in hot and tropical climates. Levels of aflatoxin in the New Zealand diet are usually very low and don't represent a health risk, however, consumption of food products with increased levels of aflatoxin over a continuous period of time can be harmful.

In case you experience harm from allergens or undeclared ingredients, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
