The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall due to a possible salmonella contamination of certain brands of eggs in multiple provinces.

The agency says the recall covers Compliments, Foremost, Golden Valley Eggs, IGA, no name and Western Family eggs. The expiry dates for recalled eggs are Feb. 16, Feb. 22 and March 1.

British Columbia, Ontario and Manitobaย are affected by the recall, and “possibly other provinces and territories.” The agency initially included Alberta andย Saskatchewan, but they’ve since been removed from the recall notice.

The notice says consumers should not consume, use, serve or distribute the recalled products andย are advised to throw the eggs away or contact the retailer that sold them.

The agency says food affected with salmonella might not look or smell spoiled but can still make people sick.

For healthy people, short-term salmonella symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, while the infection can be more serious or fatal for young children, pregnant women, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems.
