A targeted survey on bacterial pathogens in fresh-cut ready-to-eat fruits analysed 2,621 samples for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli O157, and generic E. coli. Salmonella, Shigella and E. coli O157 were not found in any of the samples. Listeria monocytogenes was found in fourteen samples. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted appropriate follow-up activities. One Listeria monocytogenes positive sample resulted in a recall due to a possible link to a human illness case and also because it had been distributed to a high risk population group.
