The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is working with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and provincial public health authorities on an ongoing food safety investigation related to a cluster of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses in Alberta and British Columbia.
Information gathered by the CFIA and public health officials indicates cheese produced by Gort's Gouda Cheese Farm in British Columbia is the suspected link to the cluster of illnesses. PHAC has issued a public health notice on these illnesses.
The CFIA has issued a Health Hazard Alert warning the public not to consume the affected product. Should additional products be recalled as part of the ongoing food safety investigation, the CFIA will immediately inform the public.
