The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recalled frozen beef burgers manufactured by a Mississauga, Ont., company due to possible E. coli contamination.

The CFIA and manufacturer inform the people not to eat any of the frozen burgers commercialized under the Compliments and Cardinal Roadhouse brands, among others.

The CFIA said, “Food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled.”

“Consumption of food contaminated with this bacteria may cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Some people may have seizures or strokes and some may need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis. Others may live with permanent kidney damage. In severe cases of illness, people may die,” it added.
