According to another Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) press release, the public warning issued on September 28, 2012 has been updated to include additional products. Previously identified products included in this recall can be found on the CFIA’s website at http://www.inspection.gc.ca/recalls. The affected products are associated with the same XL Foods manufacturing dates of August 24, 27, 28, 29 and September 5, 2012, as the previously recalled ground beef products. The trace out from XL to secondary and tertiary distributors, manufacturers and retailers could result in a large number of affected products over a wide range of codes and dates.
The CFIA is advising consumers who are unsure if they have the affected beef in their home to check with the store(s) where the product was purchased or throw it out.
The following products, made from beef “voluntarily” recalled by XL Foods (Est. 38), are affected by this alert – the list is long: http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/corpaffr/recarapp/2012/20120929e.shtml
