BOUVRY EXPORTS (HORSE SLAUGHTER PLANT) LICENCE SUSPENDED

Read the full “report” from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency here

While the suspension is in effect, the licence holder may not conduct any activity for which licence #3H7GFH7D was issued.

By Liam Nixon Global News

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has suspended the Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) licence, effective Feb. 17, for a meat-processing plant in Fort Macleod, Alta.

In an emailed release Friday, the CFIA said Bouvry Exports Calgary Ltd. failed to comply with regulations related to operational sanitation procedures to prevent cross-contamination of food, and preventative control measures for the detection of E. coli and temperature deviation in carcasses.

 

The CFIA also determined there was a risk of injury to the public if the company “continued to conduct the activities identified in the licence.”

 

The licence can be reinstated once the proper corrective measures are taken by Bouvry Exports, but can also be cancelled if that does not happen within 90 days.

 

Licences can also be cancelled when the licence holder is notified of grounds for cancellation, and given an opportunity to be heard.

Global News reached out to Bouvry Exports on Feb. 23 and 25 for comment, but has not yet received a response. The company closed the Fort Macleod plant for a week in May 2020 after an employee tested positive for COVID-19. Occupational Health and Safety issued three orders related to COVID-19 procedures, and safety at the facility.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including  Japan.

The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT  horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.

In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan,  to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
