Investigators with Alberta Health Services served closure orders on four halal grocery stores in Calgary on Friday, and another on a Calgary halal warehouse and distribution centre. The outlets are accused of purchasing and reselling uninspected meat to the public, which is against the law in Alberta.
Shawdesi Bazaar Foods and Catering, located in a strip mall east of Calgary International Airport, was ordered closed because “there is evidence that uninspected meat has been purchased and sold at this location,” according to the closure order.
