Canadians should not eat Dole's Heart Delight lettuce salad because of fears of E. coli contamination, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said.
There have been no reported illnesses, but the inspection agency said in a news release Sunday that food contaminated with E. coli 0157:H7 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening ailments such as seizures, strokes and kidney failure.
Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea, the inspection agency said.
The salad, a blend of romaine, green leaf and butter lettuce hearts, may not look or smell spoiled even if it is, the agency said.
The salad is produced in the United States and sold in 227-gram packages. The packages have a "best if used by" date of Sept. 19, 2007, a lot code of A24924B and a UPC of 0 71430 01038 9.
The agency said it is working with importers to have the product removed from store shelves.
Concerned consumers can call the agency's hotline at 1-800-442-2342 between 8 a.m. ET and 8 p.m. ET.
