A commercial food processing company is facing 26 charges after an Edmonton worker became trapped in a smokehouse and died.The province says the facility supervisor had gone to check the temperature of the smokehouse in March 2023 and was trapped inside.It’s alleged the company failed to ensure the smokehouse was well maintained and not a risk for staff.
Sofina Foods says in a statement it has co-operated fully with the provincial investigation and called the death a “deeply saddening accident.” “Our people are the heart of our business, and our plant superintendent, Samir, was an important part of our Sofina family,” said the statement Monday. “His passing profoundly affected his family, our team, and our community. We continue to be concerned for them and their well-being.”The company said that because the matter is before the courts, it would not be commenting further at this time.Ontario investigating recruiter in Alberta who helps supply low-wage foreign workers to Canadian Tire stores
