Canadian cheese giant Saputo is expanding a recall on certain cheese slice products because they may be contaminated with Listeria bacteria.
A week ago, the Montreal-based company recalled Faith Farms Ribbon Slices process cheese sold in two kilogram packs with a best before date of May 5, 2011.
The recall is now being expanded to cheese products with establishment number REG:1900 which have been sold in two kilogram packs.
Certain Faith Farms brand process cheese, St. Albert ribbon slices process cheese, and Sunspun brand sliced cheese has been affected.
The products have been distributed nationally, but no illnesses have been reported.
Saputo is investigating the matter with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and has since closed a production line in an unidentified Quebec plant where the cheese was processed.
