The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) warned the public last night not to consume the raw beef products described below because these products may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

All cuts of raw beef, including but not limited to tenderloin, beef chunks and ground beef, sold on August 6, 2010 from Kabul Farms retail store located on the appropriately named Beverley Hills Drive in North York, Ontario, are affected by this alert. These beef products were wrapped at the store for sale on demand and may not bear a label indicating packing date, lot code, or a Best Before date. So that’s helpful. Consumers are advised to check their home refrigerator or freezer if they have the affected beef products.

CFIA is aware of an E. coli O157:H7 illness outbreak in Ontario and is collaborating with a bunch of agencies but won’t provide any information on how many got sick when and where, although does state the investigation is ongoing.
