Two people have died in connection with a listeriosis outbreak that prompted a recall earlier this month of plant-based milks across Canada.

Twelve laboratory-confirmed listeriosis cases have been reported across the country thus far, resulting in two deaths and nine hospitalizations, Health Canada said in a July 17 advisory.
