Lactantia milk sold at Costco recalled for too much Vitamin A and D
Lactalis Canada has initiated a voluntary recall of a specific lot of its Lactantia UltraPūr two per cent milk sold at one specific retailer due to “observed over-fortification of Vitamin A and D compared to the recommended daily intake limit.”
Drinking the product can represent a “food safety risk,” according to Lactalis Canada in a statement posted to the company’s website.
“Consumers who have purchased the affected product are advised not to consume it. If you have any concerns or have symptoms, please consult your doctor,” the statement reads.
Triggered on June 5, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is currently conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.
The product is exclusively sold at Costco and expires on June 22, according to Lactalis Canada.
“We want to assure consumers that this recall is limited to the specifically stated product and lot sold exclusively at Costco and does not affect any Lactantia UltraPūr 2% M.F. dairy beverage sold through other retailers or any other Lactantia UltraPūr products.”
No illnesses have been reported associated with the consumption of this product.
