The Canadian company that processed plant-based milk linked to a deadly listeria outbreak has permanently closed all four of its plants.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said a production line at the company’s Pickering, Ont., used by plant-milk manufacturer Danone Canada, was the source of a listeria outbreak that led to three deaths between August 2023 and July 2024.

Joriki has filed for creditor production and says it plans to restructure its business.

The Joriki spokesperson said the company is exploring potential transactions that would see its facilities acquired, and which could lead to the purchasers offering former employees new jobs.

    Oikos and Silk are also both owned by Danone and on the BDS List, another reason to avoid them

      Good to know, thanks. Where do I find the complete BDS list?

        The No Thanks app (should also be a available on apple) makes it easy to scan a barcode or search the brand name to tell if it’s on the list
