The item at issue was a bag of President's Choice frozen red raspberries, purchased from a No Frills near their home, the family said.
A family in Oshawa, Ont., is calling on grocery giant Loblaw to recall a frozen berry product after finding what appeared to be shattered pieces of rock inside.
“It was pretty well completely in disguise with the ice that was in the bag. It was the same diameter, the same colour,” said Jordan Vandewater, standing outside his young family’s north-end home.
He was describing an incident on Sept. 17 when his daughter, Maria, 6, found what appeared to be a rock in the smoothie she was sipping along with her younger sister, Julia.
Their mother, Emily, who works as a nurse, then took a look at was remaining of their drinks to find four more small sharp pieces of stone.
“I was up multiple times through the night waking them up, asking them if they have abdominal pain,” she said.
Both parents told Global News they feared for the worst.
“Are they going to be okay? Did they eat a piece? Did they swallow a fragment and we don’t know? Are we going to be in for a hospital trip?” said the father, listing his concerns at the time.
The rocks also damaged the blade of their new blender, the mother, Emily, added.
