Silk, Great Value plant-based milks recalled in Canada for potential Listeria contamination

Several plant-based milks are being pulled off the shelves across Canada due to potential Listeria contamination that has resulted in illnesses.

The Canadian Food Inspection agency (CFIA) issued the nationwide recall on Monday for 18 beverages sold by the brands Silk and Great Value. Almond, oat, coconut and cashew milks were part of the recall, which was triggered by an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak, the CFIA said.

“The affected products are being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination,” the agency said.

The CFIA is urging people across the country not to drink the recalled beverages with expiry dates up to and including Oct. 4.
