The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has posted information
on its website about a number of court convictions.
Nadeau Poultry Farm Ltd. was fined $35,000 for 10 counts of
violating poultry transportation standards between 2007 and 2010.
The company’s fines were relatively high because it has a
10-year track record of transportation fines under the Health of Animals Act.
Some of the fines were for trucking chickens during bad
weather.
Nadeau is owned by Maple Lodge Farms Ltd. of Norval, Ont.,
which has also faced a number of court actions related to transporting poultry.
Two companies from St. Bernard, Que., were fined for
violating the Feeds Act.
Aliment Breton was fined $19,000 after pleading guilty to
three charges of marketing medicated feed without attaching a veterinarian’s
prescription and four counts of marketing cattle feed that had not been
registered with the CFIA.
Nutral Inc. was fined $1,500 for marketing a dietary
supplement that had not been registered with the CFIA.
Rubin Kimmel of Duguid, Man., pleaded guilty to transporting
220 market hogs under conditions that were too crowded. The judge gave him a
conditional discharge; the condition is that he take the Transport Quality
Assurance certification course.
