The recalls also applies across the United States where reporters wrote that “Olli Salumeria Americana’s recalled meat products, sold under the brands Gusto and Olli, boast that they’re free of hormones, antibiotics and gluten. But they all weren’t listeria free, as routine testing by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency discovered.”

In the U.S. it produces exclusively for Whole Food Markets. It is located in Mechanicsville, Virginia.

The CFIA says it has no reports of consumers who ate the products falling ill, but it warns them not to eat the recalled products.
