The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued an alert to
people who bought fresh peas from Thomas Bros. Farm Market in London on June
27.
Why the alert was issued is somewhat mysterious since the
agency says “there have been no reported illnesses associated with the
consumption of this product” and the alert was issued 10 days late – at 2:39
a.m. on Saturday, July 7.
The CFIA says the peas might be contaminated with Listeria
monocytogenes.
Probably the only practical result from this alert is damage to the reputation of Thomas Bros. Farm Market.
