CFIA issues alert on Kabul Farms beef products

FBR Staff Writer Published 31 August 2010

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has warned the public not to consume the raw beef products bought from Kabul Farms retail store on 6 August 2010, because these products may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

All cuts of raw beef, including but not limited to tenderloin, beef chunks and ground beef, sold on 6 August 2010 from Kabul Farms retail store located at 40 Beverley Hills Drive in North York, Ontario, are affected by this alert.

These beef products were wrapped at the store for sale on demand and may not bear a label indicating packing date, lot code, or a Best Before date.

The CFIA is aware of an E. coli O157:H7 illness outbreak in Ontario and is collaborating with its partners, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC), Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), Health Canada, and various health units in the Greater Toronto Area to investigate these illnesses. This investigation is ongoing.

Food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria my cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses.
