EDMONTON – A commercial food processing company has pleaded guilty to a workplace safety charge after an Edmonton worker became trapped in a smokehouse and died.
The Crown has asked for 25 other charges to be withdrawn against Ontario-based Sofina Foods Inc.
A judge has yet to rule on a sentence.
The company was charged after 33-year-old Samir Subedi died in March 2023.
Subedi had gone to check the temperature of the smokehouse and was trapped inside.
He was found by a co-worker and later died due to heat exposure.
