Première Moisson says it has halted all production at its Laval bakery after two razor blades were discovered in a baguette at a West Island grocery store.

The razor blades were found in a baguette sold at an IGA near the Fairview shopping centre in Pointe-Claire.

A spokeswoman for Première Moisson said the baguette was made early Sunday morning at its Laval facility and was delivered to the grocery store later that day.

The owner of the supermarket told the CBC that his store received a complaint from a customer Sunday evening.

"It's unbelievable," said Jacques Drolet. "Those things should not happen."

Drolet said he called the woman who bought the bread and apologized.

He also met with police.

Drolet said the customer told him that the razor blades appeared to have been baked into the bread, not inserted after the fact.

An isolated incident, says Première Moisson

Première Moisson closed the bakery where it happened and recalled any remaining loaves from supermarket shelves.

Spokeswoman Josée Fiset said anything that's still available in stores is safe to eat.

She said razor blades are used to score the dough before it is baked. Fiset said a malfunctioning machine caused the blade to fall into the dough in the mixer.

Fiset said it was an isolated incident and has been fixed. She said the company will make dough in the bakery as soon as tomorrow morning.

"It's the first time it's happened in 23 years and believe me, it won't happen again," she said.

But that's not good enough for Drolet. He says his store will now stop carrying Première Moisson products.
