One hundred people are now sick from E.coli after ingesting raw pork products in Alberta.
The province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health says 19 people have been hospitalized.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled pork products from V and T Meat and Food in Calgary and Hiep Thanh Trading in Edmonton over fears of E.coli 0157:H7 contamination.
Dr. James Talbot says the two companies have been shut down, and they are expecting more test results on Monday.
Alberta Health Services and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are also exploring if more products will need to be recalled.
