Toddler juices may contain arsenic, Loblaws warns

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Loblaws Inc. are warning the public not to consume certain pear juices for toddlers as they may be contaminated with arsenic.

The CFIA said in a news release that there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of the products.

The two products listed in the warning are the one-litre President's Choice Organics Pear Juice from Concentrate for Toddlers and the 128-millilitre Beech Nut Pear Juice from concentrate with Vitamin C added.

The products have been distributed across the country, the agency said.

Arsenic is a toxic heavy metal that may be carcinogenic and may pose developmental risks to children.
