While Michael Ferguson found the Canadian Food Inspection Agency did recall unsafe food products in a timely fashion, the agency did not adequately manage the food recall system between 2010 and 2012. "While illnesses were contained in the recalls we examined, I am not confident that the system will always yield similar results," Ferguson said in his fall report. Ferguson's report found CFIA did not have the documentation necessary to determine whether recalled food products had been disposed of, nor did it have the information necessary to identify and correct the cause of the recall in a timely way. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/auditor-general-questions-food-safety-border-security-1.2439336?cid= I am always worried when I buy meat, I never buy ground meat or tenderized meat. Have also seen recalled items on the shelf in stores and when it was pointed out to management I was treated as if I was off the wall. I still have to purchase a meat grinder for myself, I don't even trust that what they say is what I get any longer. The whole food system is not as it should be and not getting any better.
