Steven Lantz and his Lantz
Meat Market in Durham has won an appeal, over-turning provincial meat
inspection orders to stop processing meat and the seizure of meat products at
his premises.
Lantz won by pointing to his
status as a “food service premise” which is “any food premise
where meals or meal portions are prepared for immediate consumption or sold or
served in a form that will permit immediate consumption on the premises or
elsewhere”.
He has consistently held permission from the local
health unit to operate his seasonal business.
The tribunal ruled that Lantz indeed holds the exemption from provincial meat inspection.
