Ground Beef Recalled in Canada Due to E. Coli Risk

There’s an active recall on lean ground beef sold in Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). This is due to an E. coli contamination.

The Aladdin Foods Lean Ground Beef product is being impacted by this recall. The ground beef was sold at Aladdin’s Foods grocery store and butchery in London, Ontario—only this Ontario location is currently affected by this recall. The meat has a packaged date of February 24, 2025, and best-by date of February 28, 2025, but the ground beef could still be in consumers’ freezers. 

This recall was triggered by test results after the meat tested positive for E. coli bacteria. While there are no illnesses connected to this recall and it currently only impacts a single product, this announcement could lead to other related ground beef recalls, per the CFIA. 

If you are experiencing any signs of E. coli illness after eating lean ground beef, talk to your healthcare provider immediately. Common symptoms of E. coli infection include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and low-grade fever.
