  • svp je m'excuse parce que je ne parle pas bien en francais, mais je pense que je comprend qu'est que vous a dites et je pense que c'est un petit peu drastique. J'espere que vous comprenez mon francais

  • Apparently,

    The deaths have risen to 26 deaths.

    And 35 under review.

  • I would be interested in knowing what your source is for this info.

    As of 11:00 pm thursday Canadian Press reports

    "Eight deaths, all of them in Ontario, are now being blamed on the outbreak, while seven others - four in Ontario and one each in Quebec, B.C. and Saskatchewan - remain under investigation, say federal health officials.

    At last count Thursday, a total of 29 cases had been linked to the outbreak and 36 others remained under investigation."

  • That would be 8 confirmed 7 suspected deaths 29 cases, NOT deaths, are under investigation

  • You are very welcome. Did you see in the paper today, it turns out execs at McCain probably new of the problem 4 days before the public announcement and infact informed their distributors 4 days earlier. Did they not understand the danger, were they trying to stifle it before it went public or did a local manager try to bury the problem. When did the CEO find out?

  • Great Info!

    Thank-You!

  • You are very welcome, the thank yous make the minor effort worth it, thanks

see all

  • thats true yo could i get some pay from maple leaf?? i cant trust eating now

  • New Variant Listeria is resistant to all but deep sanitation, no houshold product will entirely remove it and it will rebound after a short period. All of Ontario is a hotbed of this new bacterium.

  • Listeria has traveled to refridgerators and countertops throughout Canada from the infected meat at MapleLeaf. That infection is now in homes industries and institutions, on the very cutting boards of Canadians. MapleLeaf was unable to eradicate the bacterium and had to remove and replace all equipment. The same has not been done for homes hospitals and industry. Ontario and Canada now suffer from untenable levels of listeria in the common environment. Do you eat food in or from Canada?

  • totally preventable he blamed the manufacture of the machine, they r of course cleanable, they didnt clean the necessary times & tainted Schneider's good name!!

    for cold food this is a common concern and an easy fix.THIS IS WHY pregnant women arent allowed to eat certain foods w out cooking 1st???

    my husband also ate the tainted meat so we were very scared

    we are very diligent when it comes to food safety.

    gone to hell when mlf bought em out.

    cin, kitchener

  • Lol ya people honestly wash your hands and food.

  • poor suckers. their stomachs can only handle "sterile meat". well guess what your royal hinies, listeria is everywhere just like everything else. our world isn't sterile and it's never been. if you people want to live long to eternity, wash your fruit and meats with detergent, then eat. flu kills more than listeria could ever kill in any given time. so wake up people and stop the hysteria! get real. wash your hands after you use the toilet!

  • is there a cure? i think i might be infected

  • Merci de votre réponse JLCchannel exactement! Je penses que les grands responsables sont nos gouvernements!! C'est à eux d'y voir et faire en sorte qu'il y ait assez d'inspecteurs pour faire les vérifications nécessaires de salubrité dans ce genre d'usines!

    C' est bien beau les coupures de toutes sortes et a priori ont se demande ou va cet argent !!!!! Mais quand c'est la vie des gens qui est menacés il y a vraiment des questions a se poser !

    Mes salutations

  • just like the only way to not break your leg is to never walk anywhere....sounds smart.
