Alberta Health Services advised CFIA that it had linked 4 illnesses to steaks purchased at a Costco store in Edmonton. The steaks originated from XL Foods but were further processed at the Costco store. It has not been established where the contamination occurred. Alberta Health Services is conducting an investigation in Costco supported by CFIA.
CFIA sought a health risk assessment from Health Canada which resulted in a recall of steaks from that particular store.
