XL Foods to resume operations under CFIA's watch

Beef processor XL Foods will be allowed to resume operations immediately under enhanced Canadian Food Inspection Agency oversight.

The agency announced in Ottawa on Tuesday that it has reinstated the licence of XL Foods, which has been at the centre of a massive recall of meat.

"We think there's light at the end of the tunnel now," Doug O'Halloran, of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), said earlier Tuesday morning.

The UFCW represents the more than 2,000 workers who were laid off at the plant in Brooks, Alta.

On Sept. 27, the agency suspended XL Foods' licence to operate at the plant because of E. coli concerns. More than 1,800 products have been recalled and 16 people have gotten sick from the tainted meat.

O'Halloran said the union has a meeting with XL Foods and JBS — the Brazilian-based company that will take over management at the plant — at 10 a.m. MT.

The union said many workers were advised the beef processing plant will reopen Monday.

O'Halloran said he has heard there are training sessions for workers on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
