Earls to update their progress in finding Canadian beef suppliers

The Earls restaurant chain is set to make an announcement Wednesday in Edmonton about the progress they’ve made in finding local, Canadian suppliers for the beef they serve.
 
The news conference will include a coalition of key ranchers from across Canada.
 
The company caused an uproar in April when it announced it had signed a deal with an American company to supply all its beef under the certified-humane label.
 
At the time, Earls said it couldn’t find enough of those suppliers here in Canada.
