A highly contagious stomach bug is creeping across Canada, wreaking gastrointestinal distress. Norovirus, like the Norwalk strain, is starting to cause major outbreaks this season bringing with it unpleasant symptoms linked to stomach flu, fever and fatigue. Infections usually spread in the colder months through contaminated food and can last for several days. If you or a friend feel the onset of an upset stomach, here's what you should keep in mind.
It seems as if Health Canada has been working overtime after recalling a handful of food items across Canada. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has gone on to issue an array of warnings regarding products distributed throughout the country that have been infected with norovirus or have undeclared ingredients on the label, including milk, eggs, and.metal. Health Canada is urging the public to not "consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute recalled products."
Another day, another Health Canada recall. Whether it's Kinder chocolates, cannabis products, or Fitbit watches, Health Canada has got their recall game down to the T. The federal department seems to be working overtime when it comes to countless food recalls across Canada, and now Health Canada and the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation (MAPAQ) are recalling Below Zero and Mantab brand Whole Raspberries IQF due to norovirus.
