Québon, Natrel & Farmers Milk Recall: Potential Glass Contamination in Canada
A widespread dairy product recall is currently affecting Canada, with a specific focus on Quebec. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a warning on March 25th regarding potential glass fragments in 2% partially skimmed chocolate milk sold under the Québon brand. This recall also extends to products from Farmers and Natrel.
Which Products Are Affected?
The recall specifically targets 2-litre cartons of Québon 2% partially skimmed chocolate milk. Multiple “best before” dates are affected, ranging from March 25th to the end of April. Consumers are urged to check the product codes on their cartons to determine if they are impacted. While the Québon recall is primarily focused on Quebec, products from Farmers and Natrel are affected across Atlantic Canada and nationally.

- Product: 2% Partially Skimmed Chocolate Milk (Québon), various milk products (Farmers & Natrel)

What is the Risk?
This recall is classified as a “Class 1” recall, indicating a high level of risk. This means there is a reasonable probability that consuming the affected product could cause serious health consequences due to the potential presence of glass shards. While no injuries have been reported at the time of this publication, the CFIA is continuing its investigation and monitoring the situation closely.
What Should You Do?
The CFIA advises consumers to immediately check their refrigerators for the affected products. If you have any of the recalled milk, do not consume it. Do not use, sell, serve, or distribute the product. Instead, you should:
- Dispose of the product safely.
- Return the product to the point of purchase.
This recall is part of the ongoing food safety surveillance system designed to quickly remove potentially hazardous products from the market. Agropur initiated the recall.
