The
Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has suspended the licence to operate of
Establishment 409, 732840 Ontario Limited (Patty Palace) in Scarborough, Toronto.
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,” says the CFIA on
its website.
The
Patty Palace website says it has been in operation since 1977 and sells to
supermarket chains, convenience stores, club stores and foodservice companies
across Canada and the U.S.
Its
products are meats, poultry, cheese and fruit.
