The company Premiere Moisson has launched an internal investigation at one of its baking facilities after a family discovered two razor blades inside a baguette.
They purchased the baguette from an IGA store in Pointe Claire, but the bread was baked in a Premiere Moisson facility in Laval.
"My daughter took a piece of it and started biting into did and all of a sudden we saw like a reflection from the light that's over the kitchen table,
And she looked at it and lo and behold there was a razor blade from it. Nobody was hurt. We were shocked but nobody was hurt," the mother of the family told CJAD.
Premiere Moisson says that equipment used to score the bread dough before baking broke and a piece of the blade ended up being baked into the baguette.
In traditional French baking, a razor blade threaded onto a metal stick is used to slash the top of the loaf before baking in order to produce a nice-looking puffy loaf.
The bakery was shut down as a precaution and they removed all products from Monday morning's production run.
The manager of the IGA store where the baguette was purchased said he will no longer offer Premiere Moisson products for sale.
