Possible second E-Coli case in BC

British Columbia may have recorded a second case of E-Coli stemming from the X-L food beef recall.

The only confirmed case so far is a Nanaimo man who tested positive.

Chief Medical Health officer Doctor Perry Kendall says tests are now being done on another possible victim.

“We are looking at one other possible case, but we don’t have the confirmatory lab information back yet.”
 
Across Canada, 12 cases have been linked to tainted beef processed at a plant in Books, Alberta. 

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has now given x-l foods permission to resume limited operations at the plant.
