The list of ground beef products potentially contaminated with E. coli bacteria continues to grow and encompass the country's top grocery retailers, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Friday.
Unbranded meat products carried at Walmart locations in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia have officially been recalled, the CFIA said. The other products included in the expanded advisory were sold at Metro locations in Ontario and Safeway stores in all five provinces.

One man who worked for an industrial company that had a contract with XL Foods told CBC News that he saw an employee go into the washroom wearing his protective gear during one of his trips to the plant.
"Throwing it on the washroom floor in front of all the urinals and relieving himself and then picking up his garments off the floor. Picking up his scabbord with his knives off the floor and then returning to the production facility," said the man, whose identity the CBC agreed to conceal.

I guess it helps that nobody had died. AND millions of Canadians get food poisoning every year, with or without XL.

Me too; if eating meat was good enough for our cave-dwelling anscestors its certainly good enough for me. Trick of course is to find and consume products not impregnated to the hilt with steroids and growth hormones.
Funny how just about anyone I know calling themselves "vegan" - I have one close friend and two co-workers in that camp - is seemingly_always down hard with one illness or another. Almost without fail. I often notice too that these folks seem to have the skin pallour of a tuna fish and are invariably always grumbling about something health-wise or feeling generally 'off'. Everyhing in balance and in moderation I say, including eating chicken, fish (especially) and, yes, beef.

I think it means I'll be eating about a third of what I used to, but doubt that will be a problem.

If I were a meat plant owner I would only buy cattle that had the vaccine.

The big difference between now and 20 years ago when I got my Food-Safe training is that meat processors now use needles to tenderize the meat. In the old days, you knew that unlike hamburger, any e-coli on steak only exists on the exterior surface and it's killed during cooking, even on a rare steak. But with this needle tenderizing, media are reporting that the needles are carrying the e-coli into the interior of the steak, well away from the sanitizing flame. So no cut of meat is apparently safe.

Sounds like they have a nutritional deficiency more than anything. Or they're just generally leading an unhealthy lifestyle, even if they're vegan.
Well, I guess its time to go vegan...
Still not safe from E. Coli. I remember there was an E. Coli outbreak in spinach in the US a few years ago.

Now they have confirmed the Vancouver Island case is related to XL beef, and they are not giving us the city of the victim, or the store the beef was bought at?

It was in Nanaimo.
Yes, it was. But it happened in September, and they don't know where this guy got the meat. Odd.

"Every type and cut of beef, purchased at any store in North America may be contaminated. Oh, yeah; this all happened last month so there's nothing you can do now."
