[Saint88]

中新社温哥华八月二十五日电 (记者 吕振亚)加拿大卫生官员二十五日证实，与加拿大枫叶食品公司肉类产品李氏杆菌感染事件相关的死亡病例已增至十二例。卫生官员同时称，当局已确诊二十六例李氏杆菌病病例，另有二十九个疑似病例正在调查中。死亡病例中十一个来自加东部安大略省，一个发生在西部的不列颠哥伦比亚省。鉴于李氏杆菌病潜伏期可达七十天，随着调查的深入，确诊和疑似病例将会进一步增加。

　　加拿大境内不久前出现李氏杆菌病疫情。本月二十日，加拿大食品检验局发出警告，要求消费者不要食用加拿大枫叶(Maple Leaf)食品公司生产的各类熟肉类食品。

　　枫叶公司是全加最大的熟食生产企业，因产品可能感染李氏杆菌本月十七日宣布回收部分肉类产品。二十日，该公司回收行动继续扩大，共招回二十三种产品，并暂时关闭位于多伦多的分厂。二十三日晚，加拿大卫生部门确认此次疫情与枫叶食品公司产品受污染有关。枫叶公司随即宣布召回多伦多分厂生产的二百二十多种产品。(完）

Three more ready-made sandwich brands were added early Tuesday to a massive voluntary meat recall in connection with a deadly listeriosis outbreak across Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said.
In a statement released early Tuesday, the CFIA said the Alberton, P.E.I.-based Atlantic Prepared Foods Ltd. is recalling its Irving, Sub Delicious and Needs brand sandwiches.
The products are sold in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these sandwiches, but they contain some of the meat products from the Maple Leaf Foods plant in Toronto already recalled, the CFIA said.
Over the weekend, the Toronto plant was confirmed as being involved in the outbreak of the food-borne illness, caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. On Monday, Maple Leaf upgraded a precautionary recall of 23 of its products, issued last week, to all 220 packaged meats from the plant.
