Dive Summary:
- XL Foods was in dire circumstances earlier this year after several of its products were recalled due to contamination, making almost 20 people sick.
- After months of cleaning up its act, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency finally asked the USDA to relist the company as a food processor, a step that would enable the company to once again begin export operations.
- The USDA agreed and XL will begin shipping its products in the near future, no doubt under some serious scrutiny.
From the article:
A massive recall was also implemented in Canada after 16 people became ill.
The Canadian food inspection agency restored the plant's operating license on Oct. 23.
The plant's operations have been taken over by JBS USA, the American subsidiary of a Brazilian-owned enterprise that has an option to buy the plant.
