Food safety recall round-up 12-18 February 2016
E. coli O157 in meat
Canada: Hillview Meat Processor is recalling raw pork and pork organ products due to possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination.
The affected raw pork and pork organ products, supplied by Hillview Meat Processor, may have been transformed into raw muscle meat cuts, ground pork, sausages, and raw ready-to-eat items.
They may have been sold fresh or frozen and have only been distributed in Alberta (see info here).
The recall was triggered by the CFIA, Alberta Health Services, and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry during the investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak in Alberta but the illnesses have not definitively been linked to the products, said the CFIA.
