Listeria Outbreak in Canada Traced to Ontario Facility Used by Danone and Walmart
Source: The DairyNews
A listeria outbreak in Canada, linked to plant-based milk alternatives sold by French dairy giant Danone and Walmart, has been traced to a production line at an Ontario factory. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) revealed that the contamination occurred at a facility in Pickering operated by third-party manufacturer Joriki, which packages beverages for Danone's Silk brand.
The CFIA confirmed that the affected production line has been fully disassembled and that thorough inspections are ongoing. The agency stated it is confident that the contamination has been identified and eliminated.
A voluntary recall was issued last month on 15 Silk products, including almond, coconut, and oat variants, along with Walmart's Great Value plant-based milks. The CFIA emphasized its commitment to food safety, noting that two consumers have died, and ten others have been infected, primarily in Ontario, with cases also reported in Quebec and Nova Scotia.

I have been thinking to make this post yes/ no. I decided for yes and like to ask everyone to not "shoot the messenger". The chart shows an analysis of IFCN Dairy Research Network from the 2024 supporter conference in Poland.
