Oh great, something to take off your neverending list of containmenated food. Here's the lastest from Maple Leaf Foods.
TORONTO - At least one person is dead and 16 others ill across Canada from a bacterial infection that can be fatal to the infirm, the elderly and unborn children - and could be linked to a massive, nationwide recall of ready-to-eat meat products made by food giant Maple Leaf Foods.
Health authorities in Ontario are dealing with 12 confirmed cases of listeriosis, a disease caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes - often found in soil, vegetation, animal feed and feces, and recently in certain processed meats produced by a Maple Leaf plant in Toronto.

Anyone want to sing with me...
Ooooh...tainted meat.....ooooh oooh ooh...tainted meat....
[font face="Verdana" size="5"][font face="Verdana" size="2"] Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the guts of me
The meat we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted meat you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my meat and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted meat
Tainted meat
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think meat is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't eat that way
(chorus...)
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my meat and go
Tainted meat, tainted meat (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted meat (x2)
Tainted meat (x3)[/font][/font]
I sadly have that song on itunes...
Oh goodie! lol I hope it brought back fun and happy memories!
because its rated in the top 2 biggest one hit wonders and I was exposed to it through a daytime soap opera about 8 years ago. lol
It's up there with the Come on Eileen" by the Dexy's Midnight Runners on songs I do not play, but are on my ipod.
there's other ones, but give me a few minutes.
yeah, like seriously, all I see on RDI in the afternoon/morning are cooking shows.
Yeah I meant R-C.
hmm interesting. I'd of thought RC would have more France tv shows instead I always see promos for American stuff.
Ah so Quebec is just like Canada without English. ok.
I just figured you'd relate more with France then Grey's Anatomy.
I like the Canadian stuff, so that must make me boring.
Oh okay, I also think there's a little bit of the 'it's from the u.s. so we must like it or watch it going on.' Like when there's only one type of gravy for your mash potatoes in the cafeteria line.
ah okay. I heard the french people doing the translations for the Simpson's are really funny.
One show I never understand on RC is the political talk show/make fun of show done in 3-d. It's on all the time when I'm flipping through the stations.
Ah I knew it was satire, I just never knew the name of the show. *secretly wishes for english subtitles*
At one point in this journey, I thought it was talking about meat that make people sick. I guess I was wrong. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/13.gif)

I think I need to follow SD's lead and get my eyes checked.
I read titties are deceiving.
Btw, what age does one start needing reading glasses?
I'm starting to hold the paper faaaaaaaar away from my eyes. I'm not 40...yet.
You just need a younger, sexier man to hold those glasses for you, LM. And chances are, you're not about to read that paper.
lol.
That sounds more appealing than Large Print books.
I think my arms started getting too short to read around 40....ish. But short arm syndrome has been known to cruelly strike the young.
Happy September 1st everyone !

More problems as the Toronto plant tests positive for listeriosis
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed late Wednesday (Oct 8) night that four new positive test results for listeriosis were found at the Toronto Maple Leaf Foods plant, which has been linked to 20 deaths throughout Canada.
The news came only weeks after the plant had reopened following a lengthy closure.
"Four positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes have been found from over 2,700 product samples reported to date," a Canadian Food Inspection Agency statement said.

Yeah I read about this in todays papers earlier.. sucks!!!
Oh crap. Ja, my hubby just mentioned that. Now the plant has closed again. Go figure. I don't think I can eat Maple Food products any more.
Here's the list of products: [A href="http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/corpaffr/recarapp/2008/list97be.shtml"]http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/corpaffr/recarapp/2008/list97be.shtml[/A]
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.
Wow someones playing catchup. :)
No matter how much you attempt to keep things sterile, there will always be mistakes, and not all causes are known until something triggers it.
I will eat maple leaf meats again when they are shown to be ok.
Hey! When they first come out again, maybe they will be cheaper for a little while? LOL.
lol....I AM playing catchup.
From what I've read, this second 'outbreak' can't even be classed as a 'mistake'......according to all the studies, it is quite normal.......and with the possibilities that the strain has become resistant to the cleaners....perhaps the original outbreak may not have necessarily been a 'mistake' either. It has spurred much research....and they are learning more and more about alternate possibilities.
Maple Leaf has been around for a long long time....and I can't see them being careless at this stage of the game.
I guess what I'm saying is ....if the cause IS in fact rooted in the bacteria becoming 'immune' to the cleaners....that even if they tripled the amount of inspectors, it wouldn't make a difference. It would be a case of putting out a fire with gasoline. No ?

I'm just trying so desperately to defend them. I REALLY feel badly for this situation. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c020.gif[/img]
