12 deaths linked to tainted meat in Canada

TORONTO (AP) ― Meat tainted with a deadly bacteria in a Toronto processing plant is likely to sicken more people in the coming months, a Canadian health expert said Tuesday, a day after the government announced the death toll from the outbreak had risen to 12.

Test results announced over the weekend linked the outbreak to ready-to-eat meat tainted with the Listeria bacterium. Maple Leaf Foods has recalled 220 forms of meat products, including bologna, turkey, ham and other products ― all produced at one Toronto plant.

Linda Corso, spokeswoman for the Food Safety Network, told The Associated Press that listeriosis has an incubation period of up to 90 days, meaning people may become ill in the next three months from eating meat prior to the recall ― or after if they aren't aware of the recall.
リステリア病は最大９０日、体内で潜伏期間がある。つまり、人々は次の３ヶ月以内に病気になるかもしれない。リコール前の肉を食べることにより。

"Food can look, taste and smell normal, so you won't know the infection is there weeks after you purchased the contaminated products," she said. "We also don't know the extent of the outbreak yet and it's really too soon to know now. That, coupled with the long incubation period makes this outbreak very concerning."
該当品は味や匂いは普通。この病気の拡大はまだどうなるかわからない。潜伏期間が長いので。

Corso's warning echoed concerns from Health Minister Tony Clement, who said Monday that the ministry expects "both the numbers of suspected cases and confirmed cases will increase as this investigation continues."

Listeriosis is a type of food poisoning that can be dangerous to the elderly, newborns, pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions. Symptoms include fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
リステリア病は年配、新生児、妊婦、慢性的な病気を持った人に対して危険。症状は熱、頭痛、凝り、吐き気、腹痛、下痢。

The outbreak prompted Prime Minister Stephen Harper to call Tuesday for a review of the country's food inspection practices.
ハーパー首相は火曜日に国の食物検査の実施を呼びかけた。

Maple Leaf Foods has yet to pinpoint exactly how the contamination took place, but says the problem was isolated to the one Toronto plant and none of its other 22 processing plants nationwide were affected.
メープルリーフフーズ社はトロント一箇所だけというが、全国的に同社の工場はこの影響を受けた。

The company's recall of tainted meat products has prompted a lawsuit by a merchant law group on behalf of consumers alleging, among other things, that Maple Leaf Foods failed to maintain a suitable sanitary level that would have prevented the contamination of food products.
この件で消費者団体の利益主張グループが訴訟を起こしている。特に、メープル社が適切な衛生レベルを維持することに失敗した、として。

Maple Leaf sells products in several countries but the company said the product recall is limited to Canada.
メープル社は世界で販売しているが、リコールはカナダだけ。
