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.
Since going public, however, the family's story has grabbed international headlines.
For its part, Laiterie de Coaticook sought to reassure clients and said on its Facebook page it was happy to announce the Francoeurs were doing well.
