The Summerhill Market brand raspberries, as well as the stores’ frozen berry mix, frozen smoothie mix, and raspberry protein powder were sold at all six of their locations: 446 Summerhill Ave., 3609 Dundas St. W., 484 Eglinton Ave. W., 1054 Mount Pleasant Rd. and 1014 Bathurst St. in Toronto; and 32 Wellington St. W. in Aurora.
The products were sold between July 29, 2026 and Sept. 15, 2026, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said in a notice on Tuesday.
The recall was triggered during the CFIA’s investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak, officials said, but noted that there have been no reported illnesses linked to the consumption of the raspberry products.
This comes after another brand of frozen raspberries, from Alasko, were recalled in seven provinces — including Ontario — over similar norovirus concerns .
What is norovirus?
Norovirus is a highly contagious that causes diarrhea and vomiting, according to Health Canada.
Symptoms of gastroenteritis typically develop within 24 to 48 hours, but can start as early as 12 hours of exposure.
“The illness often begins suddenly,” the CFIA noted, adding that even after having the illness, you can still become re-infected by norovirus.
What are the symptoms?
The main symptoms of norovirus illness are diarrhea, vomiting (children usually experience more vomiting than adults), nausea and stomach cramps.
Other symptoms may include low-grade fever, headache, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.
The CFIA suggested that those experiencing the symptoms should stay hydrated. Most people feel better within one or two days, with symptoms resolving on their own, and experience no long-term health effects.
In “severe cases,” however, some individuals “may need to be hospitalized and given fluids intravenously,” according to the notice.
What should you do if you’re sick?
The agency advises those who think they became sick from consuming a recalled product to contact their health-care provider.
Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
The CFIA is verifying that all recalled products are removed from the marketplace.
The agency added that its food safety investigation continues and could lead to the recall of other products.
