Lactantia® PūrFiltre 1% Milk
1%
Lactantia PūrFiltre 1% Milk is partly skimmed, microfiltered milk at 1% milk fat. Lactantia says it stays fresh longer than the brand's regular pasteurized milk when refrigerated and unopened, with no preservatives added. The carton lists partly skimmed milk, vitamin A palmitate and vitamin D3.
PūrFiltre launched in 1954. Lactantia, founded in Victoriaville, Quebec in 1947 by Lionel Beaudet, still bottles dairy in Canada, including a Brampton, Ontario line from 2008. This 1% SKU is the lighter everyday pour in the line: less fat than the 2% and 3.25% cartons, more than skim.
How Canadian is it? Lactantia says its dairy is proudly made in Canada. Lactalis Canada runs a Toronto head office and plants in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. The parent company is Lactalis Group of Laval, France, so the milk is Canadian-made under French ownership.
Sizes listed are 1 L, 1.5 L, 2 L and 4 L. Keep it cold.
