Various brands of frozen waffles recalled

U.S.-based food manufacturer TreeHouse Foods has launched a widespread recall of frozen waffles it supplies to major grocery chains across North America due to potential listeria contamination.

Brands include Great Value, Compliments, Western Family, Selection and no name.

TreeHouse Foods, headquartered in Illinois, announced the voluntary recall Oct. 18 stating the contamination issue was detected during routine testing at its production facility.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.

Infected individuals in good health may experience less severe, short-term symptoms including high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

TreeHouse Foods says there have been no reports of illness connected to the recalled frozen waffles.
