Several plant-based milks are being pulled off the shelves across Canada due to potential Listeria contamination that has resulted in illnesses.
The Canadian Food Inspection agency issued the nationwide recall on Monday for 18 beverages sold by the brands Silk and Great Value. Almond, oat, coconut and cashew milks were part of the recall, which was triggered by an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak, the CFIA said.

It could take crews roughly one week to repair a massive water main break that has forced Calgarians across the city to conserve water use, according to the city’s manager of drinking water distribution.
“There is still a high risk that we can run out of water,” Mackay said.
Calgarians were asked Thursday to stop using water outdoors and minimize indoor water use. City staff are recommending people take shorter showers, skip “a few flushes” and hold off on a load of laundry.

Canada is on track to add more newcomers with construction skill
Admissions of permanent residents with trades skills rose 29% from January through March from the average quarterly rate in 2023, according to government data obtained by Bloomberg. If that pace is sustained, Canada will grant residency to some 17,800 skilled construction workers this year.
Canada will relax the rules on mortgages to allow first-time buyers to take out 30-year loans when they purchase newly built homes.
The change to regulations on insured mortgages come into effect on Aug. 1, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said. It’s a move that’s primarily aimed at winning over younger voters who’ve been shut out of the housing market, or squeezed by soaring prices and high interest rates.
The Bank of Canada left the key overnight interest rate at five per cent Wednesday, but governor Tiff Macklem said a June cut was “within the realm of possibilities.”
The federal government will be investing $2.4 billion to accelerate Canada’s artificial intelligence (AI) sector, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Sunday.
The investment will be divided between a number of measures meant to advance job growth in the AI and tech industry and boost businesses’ productivity.
