The company at the centre of one of the biggest pediatric outbreaks of E. coli in Canada has been charged under municipal bylaws for serving food without a business licence to five daycares that it does not own.
Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, Mark Joffe, said at a news conference that meatloaf is the likely source of the initial infections that sickened hundreds of children at 11 daycares. Six of those sites were operated by Fueling Brains Academy, which shares the same directors as Fueling Minds.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she could not comment on the municipal charges but said the government must take action to ensure an outbreak like this never repeats itself. She announced the creation of a panel on Wednesday, led by former Calgary police chief Rick Hanson, to review food safety in kitchens that provide food to child-care centres and provide recommendations on prevention.
“While we wait for this important work to be completed, we will not hesitate to make changes if they’re needed when they’re needed. Our goal is to develop a system that is stronger and safer.”
