A fired manager for a commercial poultry producer in Ontario is alleging her former employer, Cericola Farms Inc., falsified labels to say chicken products were “certified organic” before shipping the chicken to major supermarkets in Ontario and New Brunswick.
Vashti Dalipsingh, a former Cericola operations director, says management instructed workers “to falsely label conventional chicken products as premium ‘certified organic’ products in order to fill orders and ship on schedule,” a statement from her lawyers said Thursday.
Bradford, Ont.-based Cericola terminated Dalipsingh in April after she stopped two shipments containing allegedly falsely labelled products from going out to Loblaw, Sobeys and Costco stores in the Greater Toronto Area.
