A targeted survey analyzed 863 samples of refrigerated, prepackaged, ready-to-eat meat sausages over a 3-year period from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2024, for the presence of the pathogens Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Samples were also tested for generic E. coli which is an indicator of the overall hygienic and sanitary conditions of the food supply chain from production to the point of sale. Almost all (99.9%) of the 863 samples tested were found to be satisfactory. L. monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and S. aureus were not found in any samples. Generic E. coli at elevated levels was found in 1 of the 863 (0.1%) samples. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted appropriate follow-up activities.
