XL Foods shipping beef for first time since recall
The union representing employees at the XL Foods facility in Brooks, Alberta, confirmed that the facility is shipping beef for the first time since a widespread E. coli outbreak led to the plant’s closure in September. The shipments include a full range of products, reports CTV News.
"They are shipping product to retailers," Doug O'Halloran of the United Food and Commercial Workers union said Thursday. "The people they were supplying before, I think they are loyal, their customers are going to come back. That is a good sign."
