Two Toronto-area foodservice companies have been hit with
recalls of beef and veal they bought from Ryding-Regency Meat Packers.
Centennial Foods of Richmond Hill and The Beef Boutique of
Etobicoke marketed to hotels, restaurants and institutions.
Ryding-Regency is shut down because the Canadian Food
Inspection Agency suspended its licence for failure to meet inspection
standards. Days later the CFIA identified E. coli 0157:H7, triggering a recall
of Ryding-Regency’s beef and veal.
Among those hit by that recall were the Sobey’s and Metro
supermarket chains.
Ryding-Regency is the third-largest beef-slaughtering
business in Ontario and is the biggest Canadian supplier of kosher-standard
beef and veal.
