XL Foods Inc. has agreed to pay $4 million to settle allegations that beef products processed at a facility in Alberta, Canada resulted in a 2012 E. coli recall.
The XL Foods class action lawsuit accuses the company of negligence, specifically in the design and implementation of control, sampling and testing procedures. According to the complaint, XL Foods was also sloppy when it came to managing the product recall.
E. coli typically shows symptoms within one to 10 days after exposure. Symptoms may include: severe stomach cramps, watery or bloody diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, headache, and little or no fever. Some people can develop more serious consequences, such as kidney failure, seizures and stroke.
The XL Foods beef class action seeks to reimburse Class Members for a full refund if they purchased the recalled beef and can show documentation to support their claim. All other individuals who consumed the recalled XL beef and cannot show proof of purchase will receive $25 CDN.

No word on when claims will be paid. It can take settlement administrators several months to process and verify claims. Please be patient and keep checking Top Class Actions for updates. We will let our viewers know as soon as we learn that checks are in the mail!
I talked to a lady she said its the browser , I don’t think so, but she emailed claim form to me I had to download and scan and send it back she said even though I had a claim number it did not take none of my family members took so a half of day dealing with this , she said no late claims will be accepted either.
Trying to file a claim against this company is a cat fight. Doesn’t matter which box you click on, it asks you to click on the one you don’t want or have an receipt for. No one keeps every single receipt.
