The latest death is in Ontario, where 13 people now are said to have died as a result of the Listeria strain identified in the outbreak.
No hometown or other details of the case were released.
The other deaths from listeriosis have come in British Columbia and Alberta.
In total, there have been 42 confirmed listeriosis cases linked to the outbreak in the country.
