Poultry were left exposed to cold weather at Chilliwack in
January, 2012, and on Jan. 18 “Lilydale Inc. left chickens in transportation crates,
outside in cold weather conditions, which resulted in avoidable distress and/or
death,” says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on its website.
Lilydale
has other challenges on its hands now that listeria has been identified in
processing equipment at its Alberta plant and it has issued nation-wide recalls
of its chicken and turkey salads.
