Canadian authorities have recalled several batches of milk sold under three major brands after concerns emerged about possible glass contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced the recall on Wednesday and warned consumers not to use the affected products. The agency said the milk could contain pieces of glass, which may pose a serious health risk if consumed.

Products Linked to Nova Scotia Facility

The recall was initiated by Agropur, a Quebec-based dairy cooperative. The company confirmed that the affected products were manufactured at its facility in Bedford, Nova Scotia. The recall covers milk sold under the Natrel, Farmers, and Québon brands. Authorities identified the affected batches in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and other parts of Canada.

Consumer Complaint Triggered Probe

The issue first came to light after a consumer filed a complaint about a possible glass-like material in the milk. The complaint prompted an investigation, which led to the recall of the affected batches. Agropur said it has brought the situation under control and has launched an internal investigation to determine whether additional measures are necessary.

High-Risk Recall Issued

Authorities have classified the recall as a Class I recall, the most serious category. This classification means that consuming the product could lead to severe health consequences or even death. The CFIA has begun removing the affected products from the market and has advised consumers not to consume, serve, sell, or distribute the recalled milk. Consumers who find the affected products in their homes should either discard them or return them to the store where they purchased them. Agropur said it continues to prioritise consumer safety and product quality as the investigation progresses.
