The CFIA’s Class I recall of Inspired Go ready-to-eat salads and snack packs highlights a serious risk of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination — a bacterium that can cause severe illness or death even when food looks and smells normal. Though rare, listeria causes about one-third of foodborne illness deaths in Canada, hitting pregnant women, seniors, and immunocompromised people hardest. With millions falling ill from food contamination each year, early recalls remain one of the most effective public-health protections.
