OTTAWA -- As anticipated, more cuts of beef have been added to the recall list of products from the huge XL Foods meat packing plant in Brooks, Alta.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency today made dozens of additions to its list of beef products at risk of possible E.coli contamination.
The list of stores and products affected by the recall is now so long that consumers are advised to inquire at the point of purchase whether the beef they're buying came from XL Foods.
E.coli was first detected at the XL plant on Sept.4, but it wasn't until three weeks later that the CFIA suspended the plant's operating licence until measures are implemented to ensure its products are safe.More here.
CFIA investigation into XL Foods (E. coli O157:H7)
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and XL Foods, Inc., are warning the public, distributors and food service establishments not to consume, sell, or serve various raw beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.The CFIA is working with the recalling firms and distributors to identify and verify all affected products. There is a strong possibility the CFIA’s food safety investigation will identify additional products meaning the recall could be expanded.
Consumers who are unsure if they have affected products are advised to check with the store where they were purchased. If you are unsure whether a product is part of the recall, the safest course of action is to throw it away.
