Beef Recall in Canada Expands, New Products Affected

BY ANGELA AYLES | DECEMBER 17, 2012 @ 9:02 AM

Last week, the CFIA and Loblaw Companies Ltd issued a joint recall to warn consumers about the potential health risks (e. Coli) of consuming certain Butcher’s Choice beef products. Since the initial recall, several additional products have been recalled and, now, Cardinal Select brand prime rib beef burgers are also being pulled from shelves.

Here’s what you missed over the weekend:

In addition to the Butcher’s Choice Beef recalls from December 12, December 13 and December 14, there was one additional update over the weekend. Click on the links to view the official recalls for each date.

The latest recall has many consumer concerned, not necessarily because it lists a ton of products or because it’s a particularly popular brand of burgers but because it’s the second brand affected by the recall. The beef recall in the summer started out with just one brand affected but quickly expanded to include several other brands and thousands of products.

The specific products affected by the Cardinal brand recall include Cardinal brand Prime Rib Beef Burgers, sold in 1.13 kg packages bearing UPC 0 63351 01561 1. The affected product bears the code BEST BEFORE 2013 JL 31 EST 752.

You can see all of the information associated with the latest recall here.

We’ll keep you posted as more products/brands become affected.

Butcher’s Choice Beef Recall
Main page | Related alerts | Questions and Answers

OTTAWA, December 14, 2012 – The public warning issued on December 13, 2012 has been updated to include additional products.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Loblaw Companies Ltd. are warning the public not to consume the Butcher’s Choice Beef Burgers described below because these products may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 bacteria.

Loblaw Companies Ltd., Brampton, Ontario is voluntarily recalling all product codes from the marketplace as a precautionary measure.

Product	Size	UPC

Butcher’s Choice Garlic Peppercorn Beef Burgers	1.13 KG	0 60383 89363 7

These products have been distributed nationally.

This recall is the result of E. coli O157:H7 product testing by the CFIA related to an ongoing outbreak investigation. The CFIA is currently testing additional products collected from across the country. The recall may be further updated to include other products as test results are received. In addition, the CFIA is conducting an investigation at the producing facility, which could lead to the recall of more products.

Food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhoea. Some people may have seizures or strokes and some may need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis. Others may live with permanent kidney damage. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

The CFIA is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall.
