Listeria concerns prompt recall

Concerns that their chicken could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes food-poisoning bacteria has prompted a nation-wide recall of Jenny Craig brand Chicken BBQ Wrap.

The Canadian recall was prompted by one in the United States. All of the wraps made from October, 2018 to mid-October this year are on recall.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, the wraps contain vegetables that may be contaminated with salmonella and listeria monocytogenes.

The cooked and frozen wraps were shipped directly to consumers in 12 states and Canada through catalog sales.

Jenny Craig is a weight-loss program.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said there have been no reports of Canadians becoming sick because of this product.
