26 Charged After Fatal Edmonton Smokehouse Fire: Worker Safety Concerns Raised
Following the death of Samir Subedi, a 33-year-old superintendent at a Sofina Foods facility, 26 workplace safety charges have been filed against the company. Subedi died from severe burns after becoming trapped in a malfunctioning smokehouse due to a door that could not be opened from the inside. The charges allege multiple failures by Sofina Foods, including inadequate training, equipment maintenance, and hazard assessments. The company is cooperating with the investigation and will appear in court in January.
