The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that nearly 1,600 people may have been infected with salmonella linked to a recall of Sweet Cream brand mini pastries. The pastries were imported from an Italian manufacturer and served at various institutions and events. The recall was issued after 61 confirmed cases of salmonella were linked to the pastries, with most cases reported in Quebec and Ontario.
TORONTO — The Public Health Agency of Canada said nearly 1,600 people may have been infected with salmonella linked to the recall of mini pastries.
"We would estimate that 1,592 people have been affected by this event. The ones that we don't know about may have had mild or moderate symptoms and had those resolve at home without seeking medical care," April Hexemer said from Guelph, Ont. "We pursued records from the catered events to identify which foods in particular were served at them, and we identified that the Sweet Cream brand mini pastries were served at the events," Hexemer said.
Of the 61 sickened, 33 were in Quebec, 21 in Ontario, four in British Columbia, two in Alberta and one in New Brunswick. Hexemer says the mini pastries were distributed in Nova Scotia, too, but there’d been no reported illnesses in the province as of Monday afternoon.
