Which Sandwiches Are Being Recalled?
The recall covers a range of sandwiches, subs and croissant products.
Affected Fresh Bites products include Turkey & Bacon Sub, Ham & Cheddar Sandwich, Turkey & Monterey Jack Sandwich, Turkey Club Croissant, Ham & Turkey Croissant Pack and Ham & Swiss Croissant.
The recall also includes a Spyhill Cold Cut & Mozzarella Sub.
Fresh & Local products affected by the recall include Ham & Cheese Sub, Hungryman Sub, Ham & Turkey Croissant Pack, Ham & Cheddar Sandwich, Turkey & Monterey Jack Sandwich, Turkey Bacon Sub, Assorted Cold Cut Sub, Italian Sub and several other products.
Some additional products listed in the recall do not have a brand name identified in the CFIA notice.
What Is the Listeria Risk?
According to the CFIA, the affected products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled, meaning consumers cannot necessarily identify contamination by checking the product's appearance or odour.
The CFIA says possible symptoms of illness can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.
Pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems face a higher risk of serious illness from Listeria infection.
What Should Consumers Do?
The CFIA advises consumers to check whether they have any of the recalled products.
People should not consume, serve, use, sell or distribute the affected sandwiches.
Anyone who has a recalled product should throw it away or return it to the place where it was purchased.
Consumers who believe they became sick after eating a recalled product are advised to contact a healthcare provider.
Where Were the Products Distributed?
The CFIA says the recalled sandwiches were distributed in Alberta.
Consumers should check the product name, package size, UPC and best-before date against the official recall list before deciding whether a product is affected.
The recall includes products with different best-before dates. Several Fresh Bites and Fresh & Local products have affected dates through September 19 or September 20, 2026, while some other products have affected dates through September 17.
No Illnesses Reported at Time of Recall
The CFIA says there were no reported illnesses associated with consumption of the recalled products when the notice was issued.
However, the agency is continuing its food safety investigation.
The recall was triggered by the company, and CFIA is verifying that recalled products are being removed from the marketplace.
The agency also says the investigation could lead to additional products being recalled.
What Is Listeria Monocytogenes?
Listeria monocytogenes is the bacteria cited in the CFIA recall warning.
The infection can sometimes cause mild symptoms, but it can become serious, particularly for people who are pregnant, older or have weakened immune systems.
The CFIA notes that pregnant people may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms while an infection can still lead to serious complications affecting pregnancy or the newborn.
Why Consumers Should Check Their Refrigerators
Because Listeria contamination may not change the appearance or smell of food, consumers should not rely on those signs when checking recalled products.
Anyone in Alberta who regularly buys packaged sandwiches should compare products in their refrigerator with the official CFIA recall list.
The recall identification number is RA-78484, and the notice was published on September 17, 2026.
Consumers can use the official CFIA notice to check the complete list of affected products, sizes, UPC numbers and best-before dates.
For now, the key instruction is simple: do not eat any product that matches the official recall information.
