My Wednesday night hockey team grills brats after games sometimes. Sort of a late night tailgate – after a shower and a quick in-dressing room beer, a portable grill is fired up in the parking lot.

We each bring an item or two to contribute to the meal.

I bring a meat thermometer (right, exactly as shown).

This week there were some pork brats as well as some spicy chicken sausages. Kinda like the ones that were, according to CBC, linked on Friday to an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak in Alberta (that’s in Canada).

Missing Link Extraordinary Sausage is recalling frozen, raw and ground chicken products over concerns of E. coli O157:H7 contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says there have been four reported illnesses associated with the products.

The national food agency says recalled products from the Calgary-based company should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.
