The Canada Agriculture Review Tribunal has granted an appeal by Vernla Livestock Ltd. against two fines totalling $25,000 levied by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The fines were levied after two hogs arrived dead at Conestoga Meat Packers plant near Breslau.
The tribunal agreed with Vernla that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency did not prove its allegation that the hogs were crowded in the trailer taking them to the packing plant.
