Here’s what’s current: Sobeys and its banners across Canada announced a recall of several cheese-containing products due to potential listeria contamination, with notices from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The recall covers products sold nationwide except Quebec, and shoppers are advised not to consume the affected items and to return them or dispose of them.[3][4][5]
Key details to know now:
- Affected stores and banners include Co-op, Foodland, Sobeys, IGA, Safeway, and Thrifty Foods, across multiple provinces except Quebec.[5][3]
- The CFIA recommends disposal or return of recalled items and warns that listeria can cause illness even if foods look and smell normal, so caution is essential.[3]
- No illnesses have been reported yet in the early notices, but health authorities are monitoring the situation and continuing to remove recalled products from shelves.[4][3]
What you can do next:
- If you’re in London, UK, you won’t have Sobeys stores nearby, but if you recently purchased cheese-containing items from Sobeys banners while visiting or shipping internationally, check the CFIA recall list for exact product codes and lot numbers and follow CFIA guidance to return or discard recalled items.[3]
- For Canada-based shoppers, review your recent purchases at Sobeys banners, especially items like pasta salads, wraps, cauliflower cakes, various cheese-containing prepared foods, and seafood products, and act on the CFIA recall notices by not consuming those items.[5][3]
Would you like me to pull the current CFIA recall notice directly or summarize specific product codes if you have the packaging details? I can also help you check whether any items you own match the recall list. Citations: CFIA recall notices and coverage from Global News and local outlets corroborate these details.[4][5][3]
