A Winnipeg food processor is recalling its pre-cooked meat products after an Alberta customer raised concerns about possible contamination with listeria bacteria.

Smith's Quality Meats, which sells in provinces from British Columbia to Ontario, has voluntarily pulled a wide variety of its products from shelves.

"All cooked products are in the process of being removed from store shelves," Smith's spokesman Andy Van Patter said in a release.

The recalls affect meat products with best-before dates between June 11 and Sept. 3. The products include salami, wieners, garlic sausage and roast beef.

"The discovery was made on one product at one location in Alberta through testing performed by our customer," said Van Patter. "There [is] no indication that other products are affected."

There have been no reported illnesses from eating the products. "That being said, in light of what has happened in this industry over the last couple of years it is only prudent for us to recall all of our cooked products as a precaution," Van Patter said.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is monitoring the recall.

In 2008, 23 people died across Canada — including one added to the toll in April when the cause of a Saskatchewan death was retroactively amended — after eating deli meats contaminated with listeria from Maple Leaf Foods, triggering the largest meat recall in Canadian history.

Listeria can cause fever, headaches and nausea, and children and pregnant women are considered particularly at risk.
