TORONTO: The president of a Canadian food manufacturing company has taken responsibility for tainted meat produced at its Toronto plant that caused an outbreak of a deadly bacteria linked to the deaths of 15 people.
Michael McCain said Wednesday that the best efforts of Maple Leaf Foods failed after test results linked the outbreak to its company's ready-to-eat meat tainted with the Listeria bacterium.
Listeriosis is a type of food poisoning that can be dangerous to people with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include fever, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
McCain says it is up to the company and not the government to remedy the crisis.
