The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall for "blue cheese" Gorgonzola under the Igor brand due to potential Listeria contamination.

The mentioned product, distributed by Jan K. Overweel Limited in 350-gram packages with an expiration date before February 1, 2023, was sold in Ontario and Quebec.

There have been no reports of any illnesses related to the product.

Foods contaminated with Listeria may not appear spoiled or smell off but can make you ill.

Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and stiff neck.

The agency recommends that anyone experiencing these symptoms seek medical attention at the nearest hospital.
