Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s Food Safety Branch has begun a survey of E. coli O157:H7 in pork at provincially licensed abattoirs in Alberta.

The purpose of the project is to determine the frequency of E. coli O157:H7 in both swine feces and swine carcasses at provincial abattoirs in Alberta.

The information collected will be used to help industry adopt food safety measures and will help to focus future food safety surveillance.
