A deal has been worked out in a class-action lawsuit filed over an E. coli outbreak and the largest meat recall in Canadian history.
The lawsuit is against XL Foods Inc., which operated a meat-packing plant in southern Alberta during a tainted beef recall in 2012.
“We’ve reached an agreement on the class action subject to court approval,” Calgary lawyer Clint Docken, who is representing a handful of clients, said Thursday.
Compensation has been set at $4 million, said Docken, and a hearing is to be held this fall to formally approve the deal.
