The
Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has suspended the licence to operate of
Establishment 737, Mannarich Food Inc. in Markham, Ontario.
The
CFIA says it “has determined that adequate controls for food safety are not
being reliably implemented in the facility on a consistent basis, as required
by the Meat Inspection Regulations. The company has failed to correct
deficiencies previously identified through CFIA inspections.
“There
is no recall associated with this suspension.
“The
company will not be able to resume operations until it has fully implemented
the necessary corrective actions and the CFIA is fully confident in the
company’s capacity to effectively manage food safety risks.”
The
company was founded in 1976 to cater to Chinese communities.
Besides its own
label products, it markets private label products to supermarkets, foodservice
and institutional service clients.
