Maple Leaf recalls chicken breast strips due to possible bacteria
OTTAWA — Maple Leaf Foods is recalling one of its chicken products due to possible contamination.
The firm says the national recall of its chicken breast strips is due to possible toxins produced by Staphylococcus bacteria.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the recall was triggered by a consumer complaint and notes that there have been reported illnesses associated with the consumption of the product.
It says Staphylococcus bacteria cannot easily be killed through normal cooking temperatures.
