Salmonella Outbreak Spurs New Class Action Lawsuit in Quebec
Slater Vecchio LLP has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of persons in Quebec who purchased, or consumed and got sick, cantaloupes that are subject to the recent Health Canada recalls.
On Nov. 1, 2023, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, in collaboration with Health Canada, issued a recall for Malichita-branded cantaloupes due to traces of salmonella discovered during testing. Subsequently, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency expanded the recall to include Rudy-branded, pre-cut cantaloupes and other fruit sold across Canada.
