A nation-wide recall involving ground beef products from an Edmonton manufacturer has been expanded for the sixth time.
The products by Edmonton’s XL Foods Inc. are being recalled over concerns of possible E. coli contamination.
The recall was first issued a week ago and on Sunday the Canadian Food Inspection Agency expanded the recall for the sixth time – to include even more potentially affected products.

The recall includes unlabelled and/or unbranded ground beef products that were sold from August 24 to September 16 at larger retail stores along with smaller, local meat markets or butcher shops. The number of affected products is over 200.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is advising consumers who aren’t sure if they have affected ground beef products, to check with the stores they purchased the product from – or throw it out.
Eating food that is contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Some people may have seizures and strokes.
