CFIA Suspends Licence for Cami International Poultry Limited in Welland

A Welland based slaughterhouse has had it's licence suspended.

The action against Cami International Poultry Limited came into effect on January 10th

In a press release, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency stated a couple of reasons for the suspension.

"CFIA suspended licence #3RWXY8FD of Cami International Poultry Limited because of a human health risk related to the contamination of meat products, the identification, analysis, prevention, reduction and elimination of the hazards associated with contamination, and non-compliances related to the humane receiving and handling of animals requirements. These non-compliances are in contravention of Part 4 and Part 6 of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR)."

A food recall has not been issued.

The CFIA says the suspension could be lifted if corrective measures are taken.

But if nothing happens in the next 90-days, the agency could cancel the licence.
