Danielle Smith’s government has yet to deliver on promised ‘consequences’ after more than 300 children were affected by the terrible outbreak in 2023
A daycare at the centre of an E. coli outbreak at several daycares is seen in Calgary on Sept. 15, 2023.One child-care facility was lucky enough to get the chicken for lunch instead of meat loaf that day. Some of the kids at another facility didn’t eat the meal, as they preferred non-Western food and usually brought snacks from home.
Based on an Alberta Health Services investigation and epidemiological data, the province also confirmed what has long been believed: that beef meat loaf and vegan loaf meals served for lunch at the child-care centres on Aug. 29 were the likely sources of infection.Now, the question is how quickly and how hard her government will go when it comes to reforming food-safety rules and culture.
The daycare operator at the centre of the outbreak was the Fueling Brains Academy, which has the same owners as the shared kitchen. Before the outbreak, public health inspectors had observed a number of violations, including a cockroach infestation and food being transported without temperature controls.
