Listeria concern prompts cheese recall

OTTAWA - An Italian-made cheese is being recalled because of concerns it may be contaminated with Listeria.
Mauri brand Gorgonzola cheese, sold in package of approximately 1.44 kilograms, has a packaging date of July 1, 2013 and a best-before date of July 4, 2013.
The importer, Arla Foods Inc. of Concord, Ont., distributed the cheese across Canada and is voluntarily recalling it from the marketplace.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says there have been no reported illnesses linked to this product.
Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but eating it can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea.
Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.
