TORONTO - Dozens more peanut products have been recalled in Canada over fears they could be contaminated with salmonella linked to an outbreak in the U.S. that has sickened hundreds and may have led to at least eight deaths.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency added more than 50 different snack product items manufactured in Canada and the U.S. to its recall list over the weekend.

Most of the foods added to the list -- made by well-known brands such as President's Choice, Compliments, Irresistibles, Clif Bar & Company and Nature's Path among others -- are various types of peanut, caramel and protein bars, ice cream cones, bridge mix, kettle corn and cookies, with a variety of UPC codes and best-before dates.

The agency said they may contain peanut products -- including peanut butter and paste, or whole, crushed or powdered peanuts -- that were recalled in the U.S. and Canada by Peanut Corp. of America, whose Georgia plant is the focus of a salmonella contamination investigation.

CFIA spokesman Garfield Balsom said Saturday that various snack products were made in Canada, but at different locations, and most of those products may have been distributed nationally.

There have been no illnesses from the listed products purchased in Canada, said Balsom, but a Canadian from New Brunswick who purchased a product while travelling in the U.S. did become ill.

"So I guess the good news with regard to this outbreak is that at this point, we're not seeing it (illnesses) in Canada," said Balsom.

At least 529 people in the U.S. have been sickened and at least eight may have died because of the outbreak which has led to the recall of more than 430 products across the United States.

Jackie Crichton, with the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors, said in an email Saturday that "CCGD is aware of the ongoing peanut and related product investigations and recalls in the U.S. and Canada. Food safety is a primary concern of CCGD members. CCGD members receive recall notices directly from the CFIA and promptly follow the direction provided in such recall notices."

A number of pet treats or dog biscuits have also been voluntarily recalled in Canada and the U.S. as a precaution over the past week and a half.

But you won't find that list on the CFIA website. For that list, you will have to go to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website to find the list of recalled pet products, and then to individual company sites to determine if those products were sold in Canada.

CFIA spokesman Tim O'Connor said the pet products are manufactured in the U.S., so Canadian consumers should go to the FDA website to get their information.

But he said once recalls are initiated by manufacturers, any retailers in Canada that carry those pet treats are certainly encouraged to pull them off their shelves.

Carolina Prime Pet, a manufacturer and distributor of dog treats, voluntarily recalled four of its dog treats -- including its six- and four- inch Rawhide Bone peanut butter treats -- while Salix, a manufacturer of rawhide dog chew products, voluntarily recalled its Healthy-hide Deli-wrap 3-Pack 5" Peanut Butter-Filled Rawhide dog treats.

PetSmart removed products from its shelves voluntarily.

PetSmart spokeswoman Jennifer Simmons said Saturday "we decided to do this on our own as a precautionary measure... just to make sure everything we have is good to go."

Eating food contaminated with salmonella may cause the illness salmonellosis, which can cause high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea in otherwise healthy people. But in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, the CFIA said salmonellosis may cause serious and sometimes deadly infections.

The CFIA is working closely with the FDA in identifying any manufactured products and imported products that may be affected in Canada, said Balsom.

On Thursday, Virginia-based Peanut Corp. of America issued an expanded voluntary recall of all peanuts and peanut products processed in its Blakely, Ga., facility since Jan. 1, 2007.

The FDA said Friday it had asked the U.S. Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation into Peanut Corp. of America. The FDA also said it had confirmed the sources of the outbreak of illnesses caused by salmonella typhimurium are peanut butter and peanut paste produced by the Peanut Corp. of America at its Blakely processing plant.
