XL Foods, the company responsible for a huge beef recall in Canada and the U.S., said that it has fixed all the problems and claimed that it finished what the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered it to do. Several cases of E. coli led to an in-depth investigation at a slaughterhouse in Alberta, that revealed severe problems at the facility, including leaky pipes, clogged water nozzles, a smelly drain, "insufficient record keeping" and no process for handling what happens when bacteria are found on products that have already been shipped to clients.

XL Foods now said that everything is fixed and improvement on the way: Steps include detailed documentation, a better way to analyze trends, better record keeping, improved oversight on procedures and equipment maintenance and better ways to sample products for bacteria.

Meanwhile Brian Nilsson and his brother Lee Nilsson who are the CEOs of XL Foods in Edmonton, are not reachable for comment and did not reply to several requests from media.

The facility's production was suspended on September 24 and there is no set date for the slaughterhouse to reopen.
