Authorities continue probe of catheter allegedly found in Quebec ice cream
MONTREAL — Federal inspectors say no health threats have been identified at a Quebec ice cream factory they visited after a family claimed to have found a catheter in a tub of the treat.
The Francoeur family from Trois-Rivieres told various media they allegedly found the end of a purple plastic catheter tube in a container of Coaticook ice cream last week.
They initially filed a complaint and reportedly considered legal action, but later opted against both after receiving a medical all-clear from doctors.
The family told local paper Le Nouvelliste they were concerned about their health and that the goal was not to affect the ice cream company or make a quick buck.
