Murgen- Could this have been one of the plants Leo was talking about when he said Canadian slaughter houses were killing downers and not removing SRM's as required?... :???:

LEGAL/REGULATORY NEWS
Canadian slaughterhouse license revoked

by Pete Hisey on 7/7/2005 for Meatingplace.com




Denview Meat Packers of Mount Elgin, Ontario, had its slaughter license revoked Tuesday on the grounds that it had sold uninspected beef and pork, according to the Tillsonburg News.

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs heard evidence that the plant had illegally slaughtered several animals in the middle of the night in early May to avoid inspection, and that the plant may have sold beef from cattle over 30 months of age without removing specified risk materials (SRMs). OMAFRA commissioners said during a hearing that Denview had a history of animal cruelty and food safety violations. Owner Case Den Dekker told the paper that he may close the plant permanently.
