A recall of eggs has been issued after a risk of possible salmonella contamination.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the recall covers Compliments, Foremost, Golden Valley Eggs, IGA, No Name, and Western Family eggs, with expiry dates between Feb. 16, Feb. 22, and March 1.
Symptoms of short-term salmonella could include fevers, headaches, and gastrointestinal distress. Outcomes can be more severe for infants, elderly, and immunocompromised people.
While the risk is minimal, especially when eggs are cooked thoroughly, CFIA recommends throwing out the eggs or contacting the retailer they were purchased from.
