Several Silk plant-based milks affected by a nationwide recall are gradually coming back to shelves amid a listeria outbreak that has killed three people in Canada, though the number of those sickened and killed has continued to grow as officials track the matter.
A specific production line at a factory in Pickering, Ont., that the contamination was traced to was shut down last month and remains closed as authorities inspect it, but other facilities are increasing production, Danone Canada, the manufacturer of Silk beverages, told Global News on Thursday.

The company has also ramped up testing, she said.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we have proactively increased the frequency and number of tests in all Silk refrigerated products production and warehousing facilities.”
