Silk, Great Value plant-based beverages recalled across Canada


Several Silk and Great Value refrigerated plant-based beverages have been recalled due to a listeria contamination, according to officials.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recalled a selection of plant-based drinks after discovering they could be contaminated with listeria. Stores across Canada are being told not to sell, serve or distribute the following 15 products from the Silk and Great Value brands, and anyone who has them in their fridge should not consume or use them. Siyun Wang, a food safety engineering professor at the University of British Columbia, said while listeria isn't as common as other food-borne bacteria like salmonella or E. coli, its mortality rate can be as high as 30 per cent.
