Risk Of E. Coli Prompts Fraser Health To Warn About Beef Sold In Chillwack Butcher Shop

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Mar, 2016 12:34 PM
    CHILLIWACK, B.C. — British Columbians are being warned to steer clear of a batch of raw beef from a Fraser Valley butcher shop.
     
    The Fraser Health authority says raw lean and extra-lean ground beef prepared and sold between March 5 and 8 at Fraser Valley Meats in Chillwack, B.C., may be contaminated with E. coli.
     
    No illnesses have been reported, and the company has issued a voluntary recall.  
     
    Medical health officer Dr. Andrea Larder says the products were prepared using methods that meet food-safety standards.
     
    The authority says ground beef should be thoroughly cooked to kill any potentially disease-causing bacteria.
     
    E. coli can cause serious food poisoning, including bloody diarrhea and even kidney failure.
