All recalled food products which were manufactured, processed or packaged by Maple Leaf and Maple Leaf Foods between January 1, 2008 and August 31, 2008, are named in the pdf below. This Settlement applies only to the Recalled Product(s) named in this list.
PAYMENTS: once ALL claims, arbitrations and appeals have been completed, the Administrator must report to the Courts on the proposed total amounts payable to ALL approved claimants and no money shall be paid by cheque to anyone until Court approval.
PROCESSING: claims are still being processed. If you successfully filed a claim, you will receive a Decision Letter from the Administrator by regular mail in the summer of 2010.
TIMING: higher level claims require medical evidence and some hospitals have been slow to deliver what is needed. Since the Courts (SK, ON, QC) must approve all payments, we are unable to advise with certainty about when cheques will be mailed. We are presently aiming for early 2011.
The deadline for making a claim expired on November 2, 2009. If you failed to successfully make a claim before this date, payment cannot be made to you or any person that you represent no exceptions.
