If you recently picked up a sandwich, sub, or wrap from 7-Eleven in BC, you are going to want to check your fridge.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall on 16 7-Eleven products due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The recall affects stores in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and it is classified as a Class 1 recall, which is the most serious category.
Here is where it gets interesting for anyone who has been following along.
We previously reported on 7-Eleven launching its Japanese Style Egg Salad Sandwich in Canada, which was modeled after the famous tamago sando you would find in Japanese convenience stores.
That sandwich is on the recall list.
The full list of affected products includes the
- Turkey Ham and Swiss Sub,
- Chicken Caesar Wrap,
- Egg Bacon and Cheddar on English Muffin,
- Egg Sausage and Cheddar on English Muffin,
- Pizza Sub,
- Hungryman Sub,
- Roast Beef Wedge,
- Tuna Salad Wedge,
- Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap,
- Rotisserie Chicken Chipotle Wrap,
- Hoagie Sub,
- Japanese Style Egg Salad Sandwich, and
- Veggie Wrap.
All affected products have best before codes of 2026 AL 12 through 2026 AL 15.
If you have any of these items at home, the CFIA says to not consume, serve, sell, or distribute them.
You should throw them out or return them to the store where you bought them.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause serious illness, especially in pregnant women, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, and severe headaches.
In severe cases, it can lead to life-threatening infections.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall so far.
The recall was triggered by the company itself, which suggests 7-Eleven flagged the potential issue internally before any reports of illness came in.
It covers a total of 16 products across various sizes and UPC codes, making it a fairly wide sweep of their fresh grab-and-go food section.
For a chain that has been actively trying to elevate its food reputation in Canada, including the launch of the Japanese-style egg sandwich we covered, this is not exactly the kind of headline they were hoping for.
