ORIGINAL STORY:
(
CBC News - Monday, Sept. 17, 2012) The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has ordered a recall of ground beef products sold across Canada at Costco, Walmart, Safeway and Calahoo Meats stores, because it may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

NOTE: Since the original recall was put out, The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has "expanded the health hazard alert". Visit their site for XL Foods - List of Recalled Products here.

Most of the products, from XL Food in Alberta, were distributed in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario but the Costco products were sold right across Canada under the Kirkland Signature brand.

CFIA food recall manager Garfield Balsom says products from other retailers should be checked because smaller stores may have bought items wholesale from larger retailers such as Costco and repackaged them. More...
