LA Salad company sues inspection agency over shigella-in-carrots recall

The Los Angeles Salad Company is, according to a Vancouver radio station, suing the Canadian Food Inspection Agency over this summer's massive recall of baby carrots.

On Aug. 17, 2007, CFIA issued two warnings about LA Salad baby carrots sold at Costco because they may have been contaminated with shigella. The Agency said at the time that the carrots had already made four people sick, which triggered a subsequent recall in the United States.

The company now says that CFIA's allegations weren't supported by scientific fact and accuses them of shoddy testing. In documents filed in B.C. Supreme Court, the company is claiming damages due to a continued loss of business.
