Multiple milk brands in Canada recalled over risk of ‘pieces of glass’

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.”
