Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) are warning consumers that certain cheeses sold in Canada may be contaminated with listeria. The recall covers specific products from Farm Boy, Life Smart, and L’Ancêtre, and is intended to reduce the risk of illness if the cheeses are eaten.
The notices say the issue is linked to potential listeria presence identified through testing results. Affected items are identified by brand and product type, including at least one Life Smart organic part-skim mozzarella cheese listing a “best before” date of March 30, 2027. Other outlet reports confirm the same general set of brands and the same suspected contamination risk, while focusing on different product details and consumer-facing guidance.
The recalls are presented as precautionary, with Health Canada describing the health risk associated with listeria ingestion. Consumers are advised to check the recall information for the exact affected products and return or discard them according to the notice.
