Canadian Meat Packers Announce Recall Of Salami, Ham Shipped To California

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) —  A Canadian firm announced Saturday that they were recalling nearly 9,000 pounds of various meat products.

Santa Maria Foods of Rexdale, Ontario said they were recalling the products -- much of it salami -- because the products failed to have a full USDA inspection.

Approximately 8,895 pounds are affected by the recall, said the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

While no health issues have been reported, the FSIS says the "remote" possibility of adverse health reactions exists.

The following Santa Maria Foods Corporation products are subject to recall:
