MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO–(CRWENewswire - 07/31/10) - G. Brandt Meat Packers Ltd. of Mississauga, Ontario, today announced a voluntary recall of certain ready-to-eat cooked meat products manufactured at its Mississauga, Ontario facility (Establishment number 164), produced from May 30, 2010, as they may be contaminated with Salmonella and or Listeria.

The Company is notifying retailers across Canada where the products on the following list were distributed and has asked that the products be removed from their shelves immediately.

While there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products, consumers are advised not to consume and to discard them if purchased up to July 30, 2010 from over-the-counter delis.

Food contaminated with Salmonella and or Listeria may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these organisms may cause illness, sometimes called food poisoning. Symptoms vary by organism, but can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, headache, dizziness and neck stiffness. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may be more at risk.

“As a Canadian family owned and operated business, public health and safety is always a top priority for Brandt Meat Packers,” said Brigitte Brandt-Welzel V.P. Sales & Marketing. “We will continue to work with the CFIA until we have a comprehensive understanding of how these contaminations may have occurred. This precautionary product recall affirms our family’s determination to continue to provide safe, wholesome, high quality meat products, and ensure the continued food safety that Canadian families have come to depend on.

“Our priority is to get these products off the shelves of retailers and distributors and to ensure consumer safety.”

In addition, Brandt has taken the additional voluntary measure of shutting down production at its Mississauga plant effective July 31, 2010 to conduct a thorough and intensive sanitation of its facilities. The Company has initiated this precautionary action, in addition to its consistently high food safety standards and protocols. It is precisely these high safety standards that enable Brandt to continue to maintain its ongoing HACCP approval.

This voluntary recall follows a similar recall of Brandt headcheese products announced, as part of an on-going CFIA investigation, on July 22, 2010.

No other Brandt products are affected.

Consumers who purchased any of these Brandt products can either return the product for a full refund at their point-of-purchase location or by contacting Brandt Meats at 1-800-387-9340 Ext 227.

Brandt Meat Products was established in 1958 and remains a Canadian family owned and operated business. Today, Brandt’s European Sausage Plant in Mississauga, Ontario, produces over 120 different sausages, salamis and hams. While Brandt’s delicious recipes go back generations, their processing practices are modern and stringent, resulting in their products having won numerous Gold Medals at International Trade Competitions. Since 2000, G. Brandt Meat Packers Limited has maintained certification from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency under their Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program and continues to proudly adhere to and exceed these safety standards.

NWTT.PK NASDAQ:PKOH Market Alert From DrStockPick.com.

July 31st, 2010

signup3m

 

 

**************************************************************

 

 

NW Tech Capital Inc., (NWTT.PK) is pleased to disclose the Canadian merger candidate, Bermal Contracting Ltd.

Bermal Contracting Inc. company excavates high quality ledge stone, used for landscaping. The unique stone found in the BC quarry is very popular among developers and is often used for rock walls, fireplaces, ponds, patios, house exteriors, fire pits, flower beds, stairs and walkways. The company has a miner licence and plans to invest in the necessary mining equipment.

The black flagstone stone found in the quarry is a favorite among customers, and Bermal is the only quarry to produce this color in the region. This stone is often used in the terrain surrounding swimming pools, because it doesn’t contain rust and will not stain.

Bermal Contracting’s dark grey and light grey ledge stone differ from the traditional rust brown stone. Soft lines and smooth textures of the ledge stone reflect the rugged feel of the mountains.

This quarry also hosts a deposit of light cobalt blue rock. A very valuable rock, it is becoming very popular for decorative flair. The rock is often crushed and used in driveways, dry flower beds and as accent pieces. The excavation of this rock will be explored in the future, once the company becomes established, and is certain to expand the company’s market base.

NWTT is completing negotiations with Bermal Contracting, and discussions are underway about merger logistics. Details about a definitive merger will be released shortly.

In other news, as part of the pre-merger negotiations, NWTT will build and launch new website with merger candidate information, and will formulate logistical solutions to effectively communicate with shareholders and future clients.

U.S. 9th Circuit Declines Requests for Further Review of Eagle Mountain Land Exchange

July 31st, 2010

commentary pen

 

 

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire/ — Kaiser Ventures LLC and Mine Reclamation, LLC announced today that the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on July 30, 2010, denied multiple requests for further review of an adverse November 2009 three-judge panel decision concerning Kaiser’s completed land exchange with the U. S. Bureau of Land Management (”BLM”) for the Eagle Mountain landfill project.

In November 2009, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected most of the landfill project opponents’ arguments challenging Kaiser’s completed land exchange with the BLM, but two of the judges ultimately affirmed the U.S. District Court’s prior ruling that the land exchange was not properly approved by the administrative agency. The third judge on the panel issued a 50-page dissent which is very critical of the majority’s opinion. The dissent argued that Kaiser, Mine Reclamation and the BLM fully complied with applicable law and that the completed land exchange should remain in effect.

In December 2009 Mine Reclamation, Kaiser, Riverside County, the Voluntary Employment Benefits Association and the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District filed separate briefs supporting further review of the decision by an en banc panel of judges from the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. An en banc panel consists of a total of eleven judges. It was this request for an en banc review that was denied by the 9th Circuit on Friday.

Rick Stoddard, Kaiser’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Mine Reclamation said, “We are disappointed that an en banc review was not granted by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals but remain committed to the land exchange and the Eagle Mountain project.” He also expressed that Kaiser and Mine Reclamation would be evaluating options with regard to the landfill and the completed land exchange including the potential to address the issues raised by the U.S. 9th Circuit by seeking a review of the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court reverses more decisions issued by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals than any other federal court circuit.

The positive impacts of the Eagle Mountain landfill go far beyond being an extremely sound environmental disposal site. Stoddard said, “The landfill will assist Kaiser in helping to maintain the medical benefits of thousands of employees and spouses of the former Kaiser Steel Corporation. Riverside County will receive millions in new revenue to fund public services. The entire region benefits from the hundreds of new, family wage jobs that will be created as well as the provision of tens of millions of dollars to fund the Coachella Valley multi-species habitat conservation plan and for environmental research in Joshua Tree National Park.”

The Eagle Mountain landfill project is located in the remote eastern Riverside County desert and is proposed to accept up to 20,000 tons of non-hazardous solid waste per day for 50 years.

NLRB Decision Supports Quincy Medical Center in Negotiations with Nurses

July 31st, 2010

crwe-newswire

commentary pen

 

 

QUINCY, Mass., July 31 /CRWENewswire/ — The National Labor Relations Board has determined that Quincy Medical Center “bargained in good faith” in its recent negotiations with the Massachusetts Nursing Association and management’s decision to declare an impasse and implement its final proposals was lawful and proper.

The MNA filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the NLRB on April 1, 2010, following the declaration of an impasse after mediation and weeks of negotiation on a new contract. The complaint claimed the hospital had engaged in bad faith bargaining.

“We believed all along that our talks with the nurses union were conducted properly and fairly and, though we differed on some important issues, our aim was to reach an outcome to achieve needed economic relief,” said Victor Munger, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at QMC. “We now look forward to returning to the table and negotiate a new agreement as we have done with other bargaining units.”

In the last month, bargaining units for the Service Employees International Union and Mass. Laborers Local 367 ratified extended contracts that included voluntary and temporary wage adjustments that will give the hospital’s management flexibility and time to implement a financial recovery plan intended to shore up QMC’s finances.

In addition, QMC and Tufts Medical Center recently announced a clinical affiliation to support and expand QMC’s ability to offer high-quality clinical services to local patients, and enhance area residents’ access to advanced, tertiary-level care.

“These developments, along with the tremendous support we have received from our medical staff are humbling and improves our prospects for success and a bright future,” Munger added. “We hope this progress can continue on all fronts, including with support from the nurses who are and remain vital to institution.”

Quincy Medical Center is a 196-bed acute care community-teaching hospital, providing the highest quality, most personalized and comprehensive medical and surgical services to patients throughout the South Shore. A private, nonprofit hospital, QMC has played a vital role in the community since 1890, serving the needs of its diverse patient population without exception. QMC is an academic affiliate of Boston University School of Medicine, and is a leader in quality benchmarks both state and nationwide.
