Due to a possible E-coli contamination, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency says certain cauliflower, red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce products produced by Adam Bros. Farming Inc. of Santa Maria, Calif., have been recalled.
In a news release, the CFIA said the products imported by distributors in Ontario and Quebec should not be consumed, sold or used by consumers, retailers, restaurants or institutions.
The CFIA says food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick. The symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea.
Thus far, there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products, according to the agency.
The products are known to have been sold in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador and may have been sold in other provinces.
The distributors are Courchesne Larose Ltd. in Anjou, Que., Dominion Citrus in Toronto, Fresh Taste Produce Limited in Milton, Ont., and Fruits et Légumes Gaétan Bono Inc., in Montreal.
The recall was triggered by a recall in the United States which was the result of an earlier investigation into a food-borne illness outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 linked to the consumption of romaine lettuce.

The agency says if anyone is unsure whether products they bought are included in this recall, they should contact the location where they were purchased.
The product should be thrown out or returned to the place where it was sold.
