THE largest beef recall in Canadian history ended this week. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency linked 10 cases of E. coli to the XL Foods beef processing plant in Brooks, Alta.

Problems at the plant included clogged water nozzles at wash stations and inconsistent readings of bacteria tests. The company is working with federal inspectors to bring back the beef, but union representatives warn that if speeds on the production line remain high, confidence in the safety of the meat will be low.

it."
Pedram Shakibafar, North Vancouver: "Not me, because I don't eat beef that much."
Noel Kristoff, North Vancouver: "It depends on where they got the beef. A lot of the local butcher shops are
