USDA HALTS ALL IMPORTS FROM CANADA'S XL BEEF
Sep. 27, 2012
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service is issuing a Public Health Alert for and halted all imports of beef from XL Beef in Canada.
The Edmonton, Alberta-based company issued an initial recall on September 16th for possible E.coli O157:H7 contamination in beef products produced in early September.
That recall has been expanded to include nearly 300 products made from late August involving animals slaughtered on August 23rd.
The original recall was for all of Canada but USDA has found that some of the beef muscle cuts came into the U.S. and were used in ground beef.
The products subject to the Canadian recall were distributed to establishments in California, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
