Cdn. beef recall

[andrya]

l'm not sure if l should post this here or in the Lounge, but our massive ground beef recall, which affects the US too, has now expanded to whole cuts of beef sold over the past month.

l have a link to our HSW site giving the Cdn. info:

Click the products tab for a list.

And a pdf list for relevant products by province:

l'm not sure how those of you in the States get your recall information.

They're recommending up here we just plain don't buy/eat any beef products until this chain of events has been sorted out.

l hope none of you guys are affected with your beef purchases, especially for the kitties, since cooking gets rid of e.coli, but freezing doesn't

Thank you so much for posting this! And, posting it in the Lounge might not be a bad idea either for all of our member's who have recently purchased beef.

Done 

l hope none of our commercial raw has been affected over the past month.

l won't buy beef for a while to make sure.

I don't see anything about the US, only Canada though..... Unless I am missing something, I see that the meat is produced and distributed in Canada only.... Sorry you are going through this

Still only see in Canada, even For Safeway and Walmart.... Where did you get the information for the US States from?

Where were the recalled products distributed?

The recalled products were distributed to grocery stores, hotels, restaurants and institutions within certain provinces and in some cases nationally. For a list of products and their distribution. Please refer to the recall notice on the CFIA website at http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/co...ions/xl-foods/eng/1347937722467/1347937818275

Nationally as in Canada.....

EDIT - Abbysmom posted info in the other thread as how it affects the US.... Guess only buying beef from the US :dash:

This is what was on FB, but is a few days old - the recalls have been expanded since then.
