Canadians Urged To Check Their Milk After Major Recall Over Glass Risk

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has just issued an urgent recall on a number of milk products that may potentially contain pieces of glass.

The CFIA is currently advising consumers on the next steps and what to do with the affected products.

Recall: Milk Products

The recall concerns Farmers, Québon, and Natrel brand milk products, which are being recalled due to “possible presence of pieces of glass.” According to the notice, one of these brands was sold nationally, with others being sold specifically in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec.

Consumers are asked to not “consume, use, sell, serve or distribute recalled products.” Currently, the CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which could potentially lead to further recalls.

“The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace.”

The affected products “should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.”
