CFIA Investigates Tampered Infant Formula Bottles

Broken Seals Replaced With Blue Tape

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched an investigation after bottles of Enfamil A+ Ready-to-Feed Infant Formula sold at Wal-Mart west of Toronto were visibly tampered with. 

According to an article in CBC, consumers are advised to inspect formula containers before purchasing them. 

The bottles were broken and sealed with blue tape. The formula was replaced with water and contained formula residue.

Though there were no illnesses reported, three incidents occurred in Wal-Mart locations in Brampton and Mississauga. 

The products have been removed from Wal-Mart stores in the Halton and Peel regions while the investigation continues.

Customers are advised to immediately discard or return to Wal-Mart any potentially contaminated product.
