Maple leaf foods..ok got the packager, but what and or which supermarket chain do they sell out of? Are all its meat products so labelled so we can identify and avoid?

Factory foods are going to do us in.
This should never happen.
To elaborate on Imorgs' comment; are there any other brand names being put on the packages of Maple Leaf processed products?
I mean like Western Family, or Presidents choice. Heck, with the amount of nitrates and other salts that they process that junk with, you'd think that a bacterium could not live within what used to be the meat. Buy fresh meat from a butcher, and bee healthy, eat your honey (!)

Hey! They can take my baloney white bread sandwich out of my cold dead hands. I like my sodium nitrate filled processed balogna. It is my "crack cocaine". So there!

This is the kind of food the BC Liberals are putting into the hospitals. Processed food from Ontario for the sick. Where is their mindset at. It's time they went.

Heck, don't make them go! They are still better than the Nothing Doing People.
Instead, make the bigshots take a salary cut, and serve only Canadian Baloney in their executive dining rooms. This would of course be in addition to the type of Bologna that the government serves us
every day.

It's truly impressive how many ways people can somehow blame the BC Liberals for every wrong that goes on the world.

NO KIDDING!

Besides we all know its not the Liberals to blame.......its the HAARP, George Bush, and the Illuminati/NWO......right???? LOL!

The BC Liberals are responsible for the out-sourcing of food services in our hospitals, as well as many other services the gov't provides. The companies get their food as cheap as possible and here in PG we get some from Ontario. No worry about the green-house gases used to transport them. Why don't we use locally grown food. It would provide local jobs and build up our local economy.

Mr. PG, we are supposed to criticize the government, it's in our constitution.
It is all about keeping them on their toes, if we sit around happy as clams and never complain then they will assume
that they have carte blanche to pull off even more outrageous stunts.

So let's see, if the food were supplied locally, this would somehow be some sort of iron-clad guarantee that food poisoning would never happen. Yeah, ok.

As for criticism, I'm all for it if it's warranted. I'd say about 90% of it on here is either unfounded, based on flawed logic, or the person just has an axe to grind.

I can't believe some people would rather buy food from a "local farmer" that killed the animals on his farm instead of one of the federally inspected facilities. I have been through many federally inspected places and the protocol for food safety is incredible. Every facility that produces food for human consumption is HACCP approved and every step of the processing is monitored by the inspector on site. The product is all tested for ecoli 0157H7 and other pathogens. You cannot test every pound of meat so there is going to be some that "gets by the testing". That is just a fact. The local farmer that slaughters the animal has no idea if he has removed all the feces from the carcass because he has no way to test it. Every animal, whether it be beef, pork, chichen or anything else walks around in its own feces every day and lays down in it so some is bound to get on the carcass. That is why we should have the federal inspectors at every plant that slaughters.

This is a very unfortunate circumstance that happened, but it is bound to happen with the amount of meat that is consumed.

Most people don't realize that a lot of the ecoli 0157H7 that occurs is from vegetables that are "organically grown" as well and from "organic" fruit juices that have not been pasteurized.

I realize this is listeria this time, but as I said before, every pound of meat cannot be tested or it would cost the consumer many times what it costs now.

On the Government of Canada site you can subscribe to e-mail notification of tainted meats, etc. Also lots of info on brands; mind you, like most government sites you will have to search but it is there.

Duffer, you've got to stop making so much sense. We all know it's the Liberals fault!
