The owners of the company behind the historic Calgary E. coli outbreak at daycares back in September are appeared in court Tuesday, entering a ‘not guilty’ plea to several municipal bylaw charges.
The two directors of KidsU Centennial — operating as Fueling Brains Academy and Fueling Minds Incorporated — Faisal Alimohd and Anil Karim, are facing a fine of up to $120,000 for allegedly providing third-party food services to five Calgary childcare centres they didn’t own.
The city said in September the catering company had also been operating without a food services business license.
In total, the company faces 12 charges.
A lawyer for the company met with the Crown prosecutor in a Calgary courtroom Tuesday, where they pleaded ‘not guilty.’
A trial date has now been set for Sept. 6, 2024.
