OTTAWA – The fallout from a massive tainted beef recall is still being felt as the Harper government prepares to pass legislation aimed at making the food system safer.

OTTAWA – The southern Alberta meat-packing plant at the centre of a massive recall of tainted beef is back in business.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says test samples from meat processed during an inspection at a troubled Alberta beef plant are negative for E. coli.

Brazilian meat processing giant JBS is set to begin managing the XL Foods beef plant in Brooks, Alta., which has been closed since Sept. 27, when beef tainted with E. coli bacteria prompted the largest recall in Canadian history.

OTTAWA – The Alberta plant at the centre of an E. coli scare is being allowed to resume limited operations.

EDMONTON – Canada’s agriculture minister says 13 cases of E. coli reported in Saskatchewan are not linked to the Alberta plant involved in a massive beef recall.

Despite rumours to the contrary, Alberta’s XL Foods is closed for business due to tainted meat and isn’t about the reopen any time soon. The XL plant in Brooks, just southeast of Calgary, has a suspended license and won’t get it back until the minister gets written notice that the plant is safe from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
