Some popular brands of almond milk are being recalled across Canada over concerns about Listeria contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it is recalling multiple plant-based beverages from Silk and Great Value. They include Silk brand almond milk, coconut milk, and oat milk, and Great Value brand almond milk.
Most of the recalled products have a best-before date, up to and including October 4th. Consumers are asked to visit the CFIA’s website for a complete listing of all recalled products and to visit the website regularly as there may be recalls of additional products as the food safety investigation continues.
Ontarians are reminded to check their fridges for the recalled products and if any are found, they should be immediately discarded or returned to the location where they were purchased. As of July 8, 2024, nine confirmed cases of listeriosis have been reported in Ontario as part of an ongoing investigation that is linked to the recalled products.
