What a shame for that company.
I will eat their products. Every company tests for Listeria....every company detects it....and then every company does something about it....on a regular basis. But this recent 'trace' detection of listeria has been magnified because of the recent disaster.
"Maple Leaf Foods is right. Listeria is indeed almost everywhere."
Some experts suggest listeria may have developed resistance to certain cleaners. It may not be an indication of careless maintainance or lack of cleanliness.
Listeria is present throughout our environment, found in soils, water, foods, sewage and many other places. There seem to be conflicting claims about whether listeria can ever be effectively kept out of food.
Food experts say there will always be a small level of listeria in processed food products.
