Lactantia® PūrFiltre 2% Milk
2%
Lactantia PūrFiltre 2% Milk is partly skimmed, microfiltered milk at 2% milk fat. The brand says it stays fresh longer than Lactantia regular pasteurized milk when refrigerated and unopened, without preservatives. Ingredients are partly skimmed milk, vitamin A palmitate and vitamin D3.
This is the middle carton in the PūrFiltre fat range: richer than 1% and skim, lighter than the 3.25% homogenized milk. The line dates to 1954, when Lactantia launched what it calls the original microfiltered milk. The company itself started in Victoriaville, Quebec in 1947.
How Canadian is it? Lactantia states its milk, cream, butter and cream cheese are proudly made in Canada. Lactalis Canada, based in Toronto, operates plants in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. Ownership sits with Lactalis Group in Laval, France.
The product page lists 1 L, 1.5 L, 2 L and 4 L, including bag formats. Refrigerate.
