Big meat processing food plant XL causes safety concerns for the public health causing a meat recall. XL has been questioned with their food safety system and also their quality of work when it comes to hands on work by XL employees. Many disturbing facts have been stated about the unhygienic workers and sanitary condition of the work place. It is evident that XL values quantity over quality and also workers considering the same since that’s where their pay is coming from.

The meat recall however does not do much harm to the meats brand name considering how they aren’t well known in the first place. Nonetheless, the names of their main customers such as Safeway, Superstore and Costco would most likely be hurt since they are widely known brands all over North America and XL will have a great amount of problems trying to get back their valued customers. Work ethics is now a big concern since this meat processing company is big in Canada, so therefore shutting down the plan was a necessary thing since many people were getting sick. Substitutes to other next best alternative would occur at this time, and resorting to other meat retailers is also a reaction for most to all consumers of the retailers whom imported meat from XL.
