Alberta court judge Brian Stevenson adjourned the deceptive labelling trial until 31 July following the legal arguments put by defence and prosecution lawyers in court Tuesday.
Federal inspectors discovered that Can-Na Foods, trading under the banner Jay’s Food Market, was selling horsemeat during routine tests in June 2000.
The defense lawyers claimed that Jay’s supplier, Bouvry Exports of Fort Macleod, had not informed the company that the meat was horse meat.
Together with Jay, the store’s meat manager Tran Quyen Luu also faces charges that could result in fines of up to C$50,000 (US$32,600).
