US Bans Canola Meal from ADM Plant

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stopped canola meal from ADM Agri-Industries’ crushing plant in Lloydminster, Alberta, after it detected salmonella bacteria.

The Lloydminster plant is the second Canadian ADM plant to be placed on the FDA’s import alert list, according to Reuters.

ADM’s plant in Windsor, Ontario, was placed on import alert for salmonella in canola meal on 18 December.

The FDA now has six major Canadian crushing plants on its import alert list.

Canola meal is shipped to the US for use in livestock feed, especially in the Californian dairy industry.
