Lactantia® PūrFiltre 3.25% Milk
3.25%
Lactantia PūrFiltre 3.25% Milk is the homogenized carton in the PūrFiltre line: 3.25% milk fat, microfiltered, with milk and vitamin D3 on the label and no preservatives. Lactantia says it stays fresh longer than the brand's regular pasteurized milk when refrigerated and unopened.
Unlike the 1% and 2% SKUs, this one is not partly skimmed, so vitamin A palmitate is not on the ingredient list. It is the full-fat pour for cereal, coffee, or a glass. PūrFiltre dates to 1954. Lactantia started in Victoriaville, Quebec in 1947.
How Canadian is it? The brand says its dairy is proudly made in Canada. Lactalis Canada has a Toronto head office and plants in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. The owner is Lactalis Group of Laval, France.
Listed sizes are 1 L, 1.5 L, 2 L and 4 L. Refrigerate.
