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.”
