Manitoba Company Fined $2,000 for an Offence Under the Meat Inspection
Act
On August 28, 2006, North West Company Inc. (also operating as Crescent MultiFoods) of Winnipeg, Manitoba pleaded guilty in Ontario Provincial Court to
one count of violating section 8 of the Meat Inspection Act. The
company’s guilty plea resulted in a fine of $2,000.
The Meat Inspection Act regulates the import and export and
interprovincial trade in meat products, the registration and standards of
establishments and the inspection and the standards of animals and meat products
prepared in those establishments. Section 8 of the Meat Inspection Act
states that "No person shall send or convey a meat product from one province to
another unless it was prepared or stored in a registered establishment that was
operated in accordance with this Act and the regulations, and it complies with
prescribed standards and is packaged and labelled in the manner prescribed."
