Meat product suppliers and distributors may want to check if they currently have any product liability insurance in place, as a massive product recall notice is being issued in Ontario.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that a variety of ground meat products being sold across the province are being pulled off shelves due to a possible E. coli contamination. According to the agency, the recall was triggered by an earlier recall of fresh veal by Newmarket Meat Packers Limited.
