Official recall record

Imported raw Enoki mushrooms

What the authority reported

Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) are reminding people in Canada to think about food safety when handling imported raw Enoki mushrooms. Enoki mushrooms are long, white, thin-stemmed mushrooms. They are usually cooked, but occasionally served raw in some recipes. They are a common commodity across Asia and their market has expanded into Canada in recent years. The majority of raw Enoki mushrooms available on the Canadian market are imported from Asia. Since 2020, the CFIA has recalled several brands of imported raw Enoki mushrooms from South Korea and China due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes ( Listeria ). The CFIA is continuing to work with importers and food safety authorities from these two countries to manage this food safety risk. Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. While many people are exposed to Listeria bacteria, only some will become ill with listeriosis. Symptoms of listeriosis can start as early as 3 days after eating contaminated food. Seek medical attention if you experience any combination of the following symptoms: fever, nausea, cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, constipation, or muscle aches. Learn more about the symptoms of listeriosis and what to do if you become ill.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
