Meat Recall

[-b]

Almost half the beef consumed in B.C. could have come out of the Alberta-based processing plant at the centre of the biggest beef recall in Canadian history.
Kevin Boon, general manager of the B.C. Cattlemen's Association, estimated that 40 to 45 per cent of the beef consumed in this province could have passed through the XL Foods plant where E. coli contaminated beef was found last month, resulting in the recall of hundreds of products from across Canada and eight U.S. states. All of the country's major grocery retailers are affected.
The plant is one of two in Alberta that supply most of B.C.'s beef, Boon said.

I realize that it is in most of Canada....
I thought if you cook your meat properly and handle it with care it would
be ok.....

Do you worry about your food.....

Food contamination is a danger that is why one should ensure meat is cooked thoroughly. It does usually kill any bacteria.

The recall of meat products from a processing plant in Alberta due to possible E. coli contamination has been expanded again.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has now recalled more than 500 beef products from the XL Foods meat processing plant in Brooks, Alta. The expanded recall list now includes cuts of steaks and roasts, stewing beef and beef breakfast sausage, and it covers every province and territory.
The public, distributors and food service establishments are being told not to consume, sell, or serve the meat. The products in question were manufactured at the XL Foods plant on August 24, 27, 28, 29 and September 5.

CFIA says the recall also includes some unlabelled unbranded beef products sold at retail stores not included on its products list. Those retail stores may include small retailers, local meat markets and butcher shops.
Consumers who are unsure if they have the affected beef products in their homes are advised to check with the store where the products were bought or to throw them out.
CFIA said there have been four E. coli-related illnesses associated with the consumption of beef products that originated from XL Foods.
On September 27, CFIA temporarily suspended the licensce of XL Foods.
