A brand of enoki mushrooms has been recalled in British Columbia due to possible listeria contamination.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said Monday the recall is for Mushmoshi brand enoki mushrooms sold in 200-gram packages. The affected product has the code “16/02/2026 [G] 042” on its packaging.
The recall, issued by Richmond-based wholesaler Longsheng (Canada) Agricultural Products Ltd., follows testing by the CFIA. No illnesses have been reported.
The CFIA said its investigation may lead to the recall of other products.
Consumers are advised to throw out the recalled mushrooms or return them to the place of purchase.
It noted that food contaminated with listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. Severe cases of listeria infection can be fatal.
Since 2020, the CFIA has recalled several brands of raw enoki mushrooms from South Korea and China due to listeria contamination.
The agency recommends ensuring the mushrooms are kept refrigerated and stored separate from foods that won’t be cooked to avoid potential cross-contamination.
It also recommends washing hands, surfaces, and utensils before and after handling raw enoki mushrooms.
Cooking the mushrooms to an internal temperature of 70 C for at least two minutes is recommended to reduce the risk of illness.
