“Had an iced latte and boyfriend had a hot latte. I had skim, he had whatever they use regularly. No additives. 45 minutes later I had extreme stomach cramping which turned into bloating and stomach is still bubbling two hours later.

We ruled out everything else we had eaten or drank as the culprit since we both had not had the same thing to eat or drink since yesterday at dinner and our children haven't reported any problems. Perhaps the machines need to be cleaned. The coffee and milk tasted fine. See Less”

“The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) along with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is investigating an outbreak of Salmonella infections involving Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia. The outbreak appears to be ongoing, as recent illnesses continue to be reported to PHAC.

As o... See Moref February 18, 2021, there have been 57 laboratory-confirmed cases of Salmonella Enteritidis illness investigated in the following provinces: Newfoundland and Labrador (25), and Nova Scotia (32). 19 individuals have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported.

Between October and December 2020, CFIA issued food recall warnings for a variety of eggs distributed in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador. The recalled eggs are now past their shelf-life and are no longer available for purchase. The CFIA is continuing its food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.

It is possible that more recent illnesses may be reported in the outbreak because there is a period of time between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported to public health officials. For this outbreak, the illness reporting period is between three and six weeks.
