Beverage maker linked to listeria outbreak was struggling financially before recall, court filings show

The beverage manufacturer linked to a deadly listeria outbreak in Canada this summer was struggling financially before a major recall of plant-based milks shut down its largest facility, new court filings show.Joriki Inc. was contracted by Danone Canada to manufacture almond, soy, coconut and other plant-based milks under the Silk and Great Value brand names, at its facility in Pickering, Ont. However, a nationwide recall was issued July 8 after public health officials linked an outbreak of listeriosis in patients at hospitals and clinics to products made at the facility.
