Canada – Catering company at centre of Calgary day care E. coli outbreak pleads not guilty to municipal charges

Posted on November 24, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

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.

Matportalen

Coop Norge SA recalls Coop Success Cake small 500g. The product is marked with lot numbers 563452 and 563462. The reason is that coagulase-positive staphylococci have been detected through routine analysis samples. The product is sold at OBS Lagunen, OBS Sartor, OBS Vestkanten, OBS Horisont and Coop Mega Nordås.

The product can be dangerous to health and should therefore not be eaten. The consumer can return the product with the specified lot number to the store for a refund, or throw it away.

The lot consists of 17 cakes, of which 12 pieces have been sold to consumers.
