Thrifty Foods wishes to inform the public that its Tsawwassen store has been affected by the XL Foods beef recall due to the expansion of the recall to include whole cuts.
While not usually supplied with beef by XL Foods, the Tsawwassen location did purchase small amounts of whole beef cuts during the period in question. A small amount of beef product, in various cuts, is therefore affected.
All recalled raw beef products have been removed from store shelves. There have been no confirmed reports of illness as a result of customers consuming XL Foods beef products purchased in any Thrifty Foods stores.
Customers concerned they may have purchased this product are asked to destroy it and bring a receipt, product label or empty packaging back to the store for a full refund.
For a full and up-to-date listing of all products and dates affected by the XL Foods beef recall, visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website at www. inspection.gc.ca or call 1800-442-2342.
