A deadly outbreak of listeriosis in parts of Canada has not affected anyone so far in the North as grocery stores across the territories remove recalled meat products off their shelves.

Staff at the NorthMart store in Iqaluit said they began pulling the products as soon as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced the recall of products from a Maple Leaf Foods plant in Toronto that has been linked to the food-borne illness, which is caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.
