A new food recall alert has been issued in Canada, this time involving a popular ingredient often found in hot pots and stir-fries.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced on August 19, 2025, that Gangrongtai brand Enoki Mushrooms are being pulled from the market due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
The recall was triggered in Alberta, BC, Ontario and Manitoba after CFIA test results flagged the issue.
So far, no illnesses have been reported, but the agency stresses the risk is serious.
Listeria-contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled, yet it can still cause severe illness.
Symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and muscle aches.
Pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk, with infections leading to premature delivery, stillbirth, or even death in extreme cases.
The CFIA advises consumers to check their fridges and pantries for the recalled product with UPC 6 972528 450008.
Anyone who has it should not eat, sell, serve, or distribute it. Instead, it should be thrown out or returned to the place of purchase.
The recalling firm behind the product is Goldenway Import & Export Ltd.
The CFIA has confirmed it is monitoring the recall closely to make sure affected products are being removed from stores.
Additional recalls may follow depending on the results of their ongoing investigation.
Food safety warnings like this serve as a reminder to stay alert when shopping for fresh produce, especially items like enoki mushrooms that are widely used in soups, hot pots, and raw preparations.
