The Maple Leaf Foods plant in Toronto reopened Wednesday, after a potentially deadly type of bacteria linked to 17 deaths and found at the plant sparked a massive and nationwide recall of deli meats.
"It is with mixed emotion that I speak to you today, certainly with humility for what has happened…and also pride with the tenacity of the people to address the problem and move forward," Michael McCain, president of Maple Leaf Foods, said at a news conference in Toronto.
The plant closed Aug. 20, and the 150-year-old company estimated its loss could reach $20 million.
