According to the Maple Leaf website the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Public Health Agency of Canada investigation concluded that the strain of Listeria bacteria, which is linked to the illness and death of several consumers, matches the Listeria strain identified in some Maple Leaf food products in two cases. Scientific analysis and information will be made available today through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

"From our standpoint this is the right thing to do. If there is any question in the consumers' mind about any product from that plant, then the onus is on us, and the CFIA, to act decisively and swiftly to restore consumer confidence," said Michael H. McCain, president & CEO, Maple Leaf. "Our actions are guided by putting public health first."

The Bartor Rd. facility is set to re-open this Tuesday.
