The recall list of beef products from the XL Foods plants in Brooks, Alta., has been expanded yet again.
Dozens of meat cuts and stores have been added to the list which now contains hundreds of products and stores across Canada and the United States.
The Alberta government has confirmed that five people fell ill last month from E. coli linked to steaks processed at the XL plant. And officials say one case in Newfoundland is linked to the recalled meat.
Tests are also being done to find the source of E. coli in four other cases in Alberta, 13 in Saskatchewan and one in British Columbia.
Harpreet Kochhar with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency told reporters yesterday that XL Foods had a plan in place to battle E. coli, but didn't follow or update that plan.

I wonder what else they expect when they stuff cows into feedlots, treat them like crap, make them live in crap, and give them crap to eat.
Either way, doesn't look good for the Harper government when food inspectors didn't notice that XL Foods wasn't adhering to regulations.
