Recalls expand again



The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has now ordered everything New Food Classics made since last July at its plant at St. Catharines to be recalled.

The new recall comes after weeks of issuing recalls for specific beef-containing products made at the plant that’s in receivership.

The CFIA says one person has been sickened, but hasn’t said how ill that person is.

The food poisoning is from E. Coli 0157:H7.

Perhaps the widest circulation of the products was through the Loblaws chain, the nation’s largest supermarket chain, including its private-label “no name” hamburgers and steakettes.
