CFIA recalls Highline sliced mini bella mushrooms in Alberta over possible Listeria

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a food recall warning in Alberta for Highline brand Organic Mini Bella Mushrooms – Sliced (454 g) because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The recall notice was last updated Aug. 4, 2026, and the agency reported no illnesses linked to the product.

The advisory is relevant for anyone who may have recently bought the mushrooms in Alberta, particularly older adults and others at higher risk of serious illness from Listeria infection.

The affected product is sold under the Highline brand as “Organic Mini Bella Mushrooms – Sliced” in a 454 g package. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency listed the UPC as 7 71163 00048 9 and the code as 199AHMCF.

The agency’s notice says people should not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute the recalled mushrooms. It also says recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.

According to the CFIA, food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness. The agency says symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.

The CFIA says pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. It says infected pregnant women may have mild, flu-like symptoms, but the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or stillbirth. In severe cases, the CFIA says people may die.

The CFIA said the recall was triggered by its test results. The agency said it is conducting a food safety investigation that may lead to the recall of other products, and it is verifying that industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace.

The recall is classified as Class 1 and is listed under identification number RA-82439. Highline Mushrooms West Ltd. is the recalling firm, according to the CFIA.
