A "new" listeriosis outbreak at Maple Leaf Plant

The massive cleanup assigned to prevent the listeriosis outbreak seems to have been rendered useless. The re-opening and tight inspection of the foods seem to be flawed, as there is "new" listeriosis at the Maple Leaf Plant. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency states that there have been 4 samples tested positive out of thousands of samples. Already, listeriosis has killed 20 people worldwide. The plant was originally closed on August 20, until it re-opened on September 17. Fortunately, no products were sold to the public. With information that only 4 products were tested positive out of five thousand, the company and Canadian Food Inspection Agency will withhold the distribution of products, quarantine related products and improve their sanitation efforts.

It is fortunate that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency carries out their jobs respectfully. Without the help of this agency, another major outbreak of listeriosis could have devasted the society resulting in an addition of deaths. As a citizen of Canada, the Maple Leaf Plant was expected to have improved their sanitation and meat products. Their actions of nearly allowing yet another outbreak of listeriosis products may completely lose the society's trust for any of meat products sold in Canada. It is apparent the consumation and business of meats will slide down in Canada drastically.
