Health officials say a salmonella outbreak linked to deli meats sold at grocery stores and in prepared sandwiches has expanded.
The Public Health Agency of Canada says 84 people have gotten sick since April, and there have now been nine hospitalizations.
That’s about a dozen more illnesses and two more hospitalizations since the agency’s last report in late June.

PHAC says the infections are linked to Rea brand Genoa Salami Sweet, Rea brand Genoa Salami Hot and Bona brand Mild Genova Salami.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled the products in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba on June 10.
While most of the illnesses reported are in Alberta with 67 people sickened, the outbreak also affects Ontario, where 15 people have been ill, as well as Manitoba with one person sick. One illness reported in B.C. is related to travel to Alberta.
Salmonella is a food-borne bacterial illness that can spread several days or weeks after a person is infected, even if they don鈥檛 have symptoms.
It can result in severe and potentially deadly infections, particularly for children, pregnant people, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, cramps and diarrhea.
