Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials say the Alberta meat plant at the centre of the huge beef recall didn’t follow or update its own plan to fight E-coli.
The C-F-I-A says not only did X-L Foods hand over delayed information early last month after E-coli was detected in a meat shipment headed to the U-S, but what it did provide also proved to be unusable.
The agency says X-L finally provided acceptable documentation starting September 11th.
A beef recall was eventually issued September 16th and has since expanded several times to include more than 18-hundred products in Canada and the U-S.
