Select milk products sold through the Farmers, Natrel and Québon brands are being recalled due to a “possible presence of pieces of glass.”
The recalls were initially triggered by Agropur, Canada’s largest dairy co-operative, on Wednesday.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is currently conducting a “food safety investigation.”

I bet pickle sales went way up since meth was found in them lol
Wait wait wait…so as a journalist you didn’t think to ask what reason there would be for “pieces” of glass to be so close to the production of milk that it ends up in the actual milk?
What’s a little glass among friends
Is this recall just for cartons or is it for plastic containers as well. What about skim milk one l farmers?

Liberals ruining canada for almost 2 decades
Canadian government is a fuking joke
Glad I buy American dairy. I hate supporting Canadian industries that get protection from the government.
No captions on your videos for hard of hearing .
Agropur = HEAD OFFICE, QUEBEC because it holds the highest dairy quota in all of Canada, but they do not want to be part of Canada, it is ALWAYS, “except in quebec” – that is why the federal government will NEVER get rid of the diary quota.
How does The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) not check the milk before it hits the market? Do they think people buy milk just for the sake of it? These milks are consumed by children.
Yikes!
Glass in food/drink is extremely dangerous. Even a piece too small too see with the naked eye could cause problems.
How does something like this even happen?! Jesus
What if I already drank it?
Absolute silliness. Broken glass got into the production run, so there is a concern. Question that is not answered is when did that occur? When was it noticed and the problem corrected? To blacklist all milk is just wrong. Why is the date range not being announced? What are the real odds? 1 broken lightbulb (for example) in how many millions of liters of milk.
Rather than throwing it all out, can one strain the milk? Probably would be very safe to do so, and not waste all that money.
We need to get out of the self destructive habit of ‘when in doubt… throw it out’.
