SMITH SNACKS RECALL

There seems to be a food recall just about every day. Normally it is some lettuce, grapes, spinach, or hamburger meat from away. We look in our freezer to see if we have it and that is it.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency released a warning today that Smith Snacks Small Sub sandwiches made in Norman's Cove may be contaminated. The company is voluntarily recalling the prepackaged sandwiches from the marketplace.

The affected products may contain Listeria monocytogenes, and "may not look or smell spoiled," the CFIA said, adding that resulting listeriosis can result in high fever, severe headaches, neck stiffness and nausea. Pregnant women, seniors and people with weak immune systems are particularly at risk.

So if you were in a rush for lunch today and grabbed a small sub out of the cooler at your local convenience store or gas bar check the packaging before you eat. The code to watch for is 23858 00026 0 and a best-before date of June 8, 2008.

And if you're spending time on the porcelain throne or gabbing with Ralph on the great white phone, sorry I never got this out to you earlier!
