Dear Lewis and Genevieve

I'm interested - I assume there is some sort of food safety legislation in Ontario. Can either of you (or an Ontario colleague?) tell me what it is? It will be interesting to see if the claims here try to rely on breach of the legislation, if there has been such, in support of the claim for negligence. I see from a brief google of the topic that the company is now claiming that the contamination may have occurred deep down in the bowels of the machines where their normal cleaning would not reach- hence (as I think someone else on the web said), preparing for a claim for at least contribution from the manufacturers of the machines if the civil suits proceed.
