In our corner of the world, we rely on each other for more than just the weather report. We count on local businesses and brands to be part of our daily lives, and when a household name like Farmers faces a safety issue, the priority shifts from playing the hits to looking out for our neighbours.
The Details: Glass Contamination in Farmers Milk
Agropur has issued a voluntary recall for several milk products produced at their Bedford facility. This isn't about an off-taste or a fridge life issue, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has warned that these specific cartons may contain pieces of glass.
If you picked up milk recently at the Atlantic Superstore in Bridgewater or a local shop in Mahone Bay, you need to check the side of the carton. The focus is specifically on 2-litre cartons from Farmers, Natrel, and Québon with specific "Best Before" dates.
The "Watch List" for Your Kitchen
Look for Plant 3702 near the date. If you see it, compare your carton to these high-risk codes:
- Farmers 1%, 2%, and 3.25% (2L): Dates ranging from March 24 to April 10.
- Farmers Chocolate Milk (2L): Dates of March 26, April 1, 2, and 15.
- Natrel 1% Lactose-Free Chocolate (2L): This national recall includes several dates stretching through May 15.
The Go Rock Commitment: More Than Just Music
You might wonder why an independent rock station is pivoting from power chords to dairy safety.
The reason is straightforward: Our frequency belongs to this community. When we secured the licence for 107.9, we did it because we were tired of Halifax-based stations treating the South Shore like an afterthought. Being a "Reliable Anchor" means showing up when things get complicated. We don't just broadcast to Lunenburg County; we are locally owned. If there's a risk to your breakfast table, we’re going to be the first to tell you.
If your milk is on the list, do not open it. You can return it to the point of purchase for a full refund or simply dispose of it.
At 107.9 Go Rock, our content is built on the idea that local independence matters. Whether we’re fighting for your right to have a station that actually knows where New Germany is, or providing updates during a regional emergency, our goal is to be the voice you trust when the "big city" stations aren't looking. We’ve moved past the days of just surviving; we’re here to ensure our community thrives, stays informed, and stays safe.
We’re keeping our eyes on the local news that matters most to you.
Stay safe, verify those cartons, and keep it tuned to the heart of the South Shore.
