I have just learned that between March 19, 2009, and June 23, 2010, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency detained 12 truckloads of eggs shipped from Burnbrae and Gray Ridge to Best Choice Eggs at Blackstock.
The information is in court files in Oshawa.
This raises a couple of questions. How did these substandard eggs escape Canadian Food Inspection Agency scrutiny before they left Burnbrae and Gray Ridge grading stations?
Were these shipments deliberately sub-standard to hurt Best Choice's reputation with its clients, or were they typical of eggs the province's dominant egg graders ship to all their customers?
After experiencing these situations at Best Choice, did the Canadian Food Inspection Agency subject Burnbrae and Gray Ridge to greater scrutiny, including surprise inspections?
