Meat from Toronto store could have E. coli: CFIA
OTTAWA — Ontario residents are being advised by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to dispose of beef products sold at a Toronto store that could be contaminated with E. coli.
The agency issued a statement Thursday that said all beef products sold on Aug. 6 from the Kabul Farms store in the North York region of Toronto should not be consumed.
The news comes as the agency, in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Health Canada, and regional health authorities investigate an outbreak of E. coli-related illnesses in Toronto.
The release did not say if the meat advisory was linked to that investigation.
E. coli is a food-borne bacteria that can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and in severe cases, death.
