The product was distributed throughout Eastern Canada, including Newfoundland and Labrador.
There haven't been any reported illnesses associated with the ham.
The manufacturer (Les Cuisines Gasp?siennes de Matane Lt?e of Matane, Que.) is voluntarily recalling the affected product from the marketplace.
Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled, but it can cause listeriosis. Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea, with pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems particularly at risk.
