Three patients who ate deli sandwiches from a restaurant in Canada’s largest cancer center have been infected with Listeria, according to an article on the Food Safety News website.

Toronto Public Health (TPH) is investigating the cases in people who ate at Druxy’s in the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. 

TPH staff have completed an extensive risk assessment, collected samples of the surfaces and food for testing and ordered a thorough cleaning of the restaurant and equipment inside the facility. 

The restaurant is closed at this time to prevent further risk to the public. Public health officials have issued an alert to Toronto hospitals, long-term care facilities and doctors’ offices to make sure they are aware of the illnesses and possibility of additional patients with Listeria infections.
