On July 18, Canada's health agency issued a recall notice for 18 plant-based drinks sold under the Silk and Great Value brands due to suspected links to a listeria outbreak. The contamination has led to a proposed class action targeting the sellers of these drinks. The Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed dozens of cases of Listeria, resulting in nine hospitalizations and the deaths of two Ontarians. Marketing experts suggest that the recalled brands must rebuild trust by apologizing. Additionally, a WeCook ready-to-eat meatball dish has been recalled over possible Listeria contamination.
