The Canada Safeway burger recall was initiated after E.coli testing during an ongoing food safety investigation at a meat production facility.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Canada Safeway have warned people against consumption of The Gourmet Meat Shoppe and The Butcher?s Cut?brands of frozen beef burgers?as they may have been contaminated with E.coli O157:H7 bacteria.
The Safeway burger recall includes meat was produced at Cardinal Meat Specialists in Ontario and the five brands have a best before date of Aug. 14, 2013.
These products have been distributed in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.

Safeway has voluntarily recalled the affected products from its stores in the markets due to the E.coli food concerns.
The CFIA said that the recall is a result of E.coli testing related to an ongoing food safety investigation at a facility which produces the meat. Testing will continue to see if any other products are affected.
Food contaminated with E.coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled.
Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. The symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea.
Some people may have seizures or strokes and some may need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis. Others may live with permanent kidney damage. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
Last fall, officials linked an E.coli outbreak to a batch of Butcher?s Choice beef brand burgers sold across Canada.
In Oct. 2012, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) confirmed 11 E.coli illnesses across four provinces, linking them to the massive beef recall associated with products originating from XL Foods? Brooks, Alta. facility.
While one case was reported in British Columbia, seven cases were in Alberta, two in Quebec, and one in Newfoundland and Labrador.
In Sept. 2012, ground beef possibly contaminated with E.coli and sold at a number of grocers throughout Alberta and across Canada was recalled after the CIFA issued an alert asking the public, distributors and food service establishments not to consume, sell, or serve the ground beef products because the products may be contaminated with E.coli O157:H7.
