Customers are advised about the voluntary milk recall via a sign at Market on Yates.
More milk products are getting pulled from Vancouver Island shelves, this time involving Island Farms, Lucerne and Natrel.
On Thursday, Agropur Cooperate initiated a voluntary recall of numerous items in British Columbia that were produced at the Victoria facility.
Agropur said foreign material has been found in some of the products. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. The company said the recall is a precautionary measure.
Customers are advised not to drink the milk and are being asked to return the products to the store for a full refund.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. They are also verifying that the affected products are being removed from stores.
The voluntary recall comes three days after Foremost-brand four-litre milk jugs from two Real Canadian Superstores on Vancouver Island were recalled due to sharp metal objects being found in the milk.
