Maple Leaf Foods has suspended operations at its poultry plant in Brampton, Ontario, reports Food Business News. According to Michael McCain, president and chief executive officer, the company is investigating three employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 while working at the facility.
“Our first priority is to keep our people safe, so the decision was made to shut down the facility, pending a full risk assessment,” McCain said. “While we complete the investigation, we are deep cleaning the plant, including common areas and offices. Our goal is to complete the investigation and the deep cleaning as quickly as reasonably possible. We will not begin operating again until we are confident that it is safe to return to work.” Full Story
