Grain commission revokes Purely Canada licences

The Canadian Grain Commission has revoked the licences of Purely Canada Foods.

The commission said Aug. 28 both dealer and primary elevator licences at the company’s Saskatchewan facilities in Avonlea, Kindersley and Lajord had been pulled and farmers in all three prairie provinces could be owed money.
