The ********* Food Inspection Agency is recalling many brands of jellied beef ******* sold in various Ontario stores.

Many of the products were served to customers by store clerks and others were pre-packaged.

The food inspection agency says it’s conducting an investigation that may lead to more products being recalled.

It says people should check to see if they have the recalled beef ******* and either throw it out or return it to the store.

The agency says food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make people *****.

Symptoms of listeriosis — the illness caused by the listeria bacteria — can include vomiting, fever, muscle aches, severe headache and a stiff neck, the recall notice said.
