Costco recalls Kirkland roasted chicken salad over Listeria concerns

Costco is recalling roasted chicken salad bearing the Kirkland Signature brand due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued the recall on Friday for products carrying a best-before date of April 3, 2015.

The products were sold in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

CFIA says recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store.

Foods contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick, according to CIFA.

Consuming Listeria-contaminated food can lead to listeriosis, which can cause a high fever, severe headache, a stiff neck and nausea. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk

No illnesses have been reported.
