A growing recall of dairy products distributed in B.C. is now the subject of an investigation into possible tampering.
The RCMP and Canadian Food Inspection Agency are trying to discover if someone deliberately tampered with affected milk sold under the Island Farms, Lucerne and Natrel names and includes skimmed, one per cent partly-skimmed, two per cent partly-skimmed, homogenized and one per cent partly-skimmed chocolate milk.

Quebec-based dairy giant Agropur recalled some its products due to what the CFIA calls “harmful extraneous material.”
In a news release issued early Friday, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency did not elaborate on the type of material that triggered the recall.
The CFIA says all of the affected products are sold in both two- and four-litre jugs with best-before dates up to and including July 3, 2017.
The agency says the recalled milk should be thrown out or returned to the store where purchased. There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this milk.
