Canadian Beef Back On Earls Menu After Outcry On U.S. Sourcing
CALGARY: Earls restaurant chain says Canadian beef is back in all of its Alberta and Saskatchewan outlets after an outcry from consumers.
The Vancouver-based company said Wednesday that it has supplier deals with Canadian ranchers who raise cattle without antibiotics, steroids, or added hormones and who are regularly audited for animal welfare.
In April, Earls announced it would be sourcing all of its beef from a U.S. supplier that had a Certified Humane designation because there wasn’t a supplier in Canada who could provide that.
The chain said it made the switch after surveying customers and staff and finding a majority favoured “humane” beef.
