Lead story
Food safety is a motherhood issue, but are
regulators being overzealous with requiring
small, low-volume abattoirs to live by standards
created for large -volume packing plants? Mike
Beretta is one
small abattoir
owner who has
thrown in the
towel, not able
to meet the
high costs of
upgrading as
provincial
inspection
standards
move closer to
federal
standards.
