The Vice President of Restaurants Canada in Western Canada tells 660News even a single case of ecoli is bad for his business.
“It’s possible the source of the ecoli is already out of the food supply chain, but he’s confident in time health officials will identify the source and future safeguards can be put in place,” Mark von Schellwitz
Alberta Health Service states it has yet to identify what sickened 125 people in the province, a number of whom were hospitalized.
AHS is also downplaying suggestions that came out of Edmonton early Thursday, that 80 per cent of reported cases were associated with Asian-style restaurants in Calgary and Edmonton.
“Not all restaurants are members of Restaurants Canada and diners might want to keep that in mind when heading out to eat.”
