The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is expanding its massive beef recall over E. coli concerns again.
The list of affected products now includes Janet’s Old-Fashioned Beef Jerky sold in New Brunswick as well as various corned beef products sold in Quebec.
The recall list has now been expanded 17 times and contains over 2000 meat products, making it the biggest recall list in Canada’s history.
The affected products are associated with the same XL Foods manufacturing dates of August 24, 27, 28, 29 and September 5, 2012, as the previously recalled ground beef products.
This recall also includes unlabelled and/or unbranded beef products sold at retail stores not identified in the C.F.I.A.’s product list, which may include small retailers, local meat markets and butcher shops.
Therefore, the C.F.I.A. is advising consumers who are unsure if they have the affected beef products in their homes to check with the store where the products were purchased or throw them out.
