Back in June I reported that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency
warned of an E-coli outbreak at an American beef company (JBS Swift Company) that supplied meat to President’s Choice. A number of PC products were recalled.
I have learned today that a popular food attorney in the US has commenced a third lawsuit against the company on behalf of a Wisconsin family. Three members of the family became ill after consumption of the meat.
The youngest of the two boys aged 7 was readmitted to the ER where stool samples revealed he tested positive for E-coli. Subsequently, the boy developed hemolytic uremic syndrome a complication of E-coli infection.
It does not appear that there are any known cases in Canada yet.
