As well, Fuge Fine Meat Inc. at 10757 95 St. issued a news release Friday to notify customers that some of its products were made with meat processed at Pine Haven. The company said the items in question are pork sausage products, including bratwurst and kielbasa, with expiration dates ranging from May 3 to May 26.

The company said anyone who believes they may have purchased such items at the University of Alberta farmers market on March 22, March 29 or April 5 should contact Fuge directly via email at meat@fuge.ca.

In addition to sausages, pork sold by The Meat Shop may have been transformed into meat cuts, ground pork, and other raw and ready-to-eat products, the CFIA said. The products have been distributed only in Alberta.

Eating recalled products could lead to illness, even if they look or smell fine, the agency said. Consumers should throw out any products covered by the recalls, or return them to the store.

The first sign of the outbreak came last month when five people who had eaten at Mama Nita’s Binalot restaurant became ill. As the number of cases grew, Alberta Health Services looked further afield for the source.

The main symptom of E. coli poisoning is diarrhea, which may be bloody. Sometimes, the infection can lead to kidney failure. The young, elderly, and immune compromised are particularly vulnerable to complications. Symptoms can show up from one to 10 days after eating contaminated food. AHS said anyone who falls ill and may have eaten the affected products should see a doctor and mention possible exposure to E. coli.
