Some salami products from the Rea and Bona brands have been recalled from three states over concerns about potential salmonella contamination, according to Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Food Recall warnings include Rea's Genoa Salami Sweet and Genoa Salami Hot, as well as the mild Genova Salami with bonuses in various sizes.
The agency said the product could have been provided by a sales assistant at the deli counter, with or without labeling or coding. Products were also distributed to grocery stores, specialty markets, restaurants, cafes, delis and butchers.
According to the CFIA, the product was distributed to Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario and was specifically recalled by Marini Food Limited.
The recall was caused by the findings of a CFIA during an investigation into the outbreak of foodborne diseases.
