Watching your sugar intake has new meaning for a Mississauga man.
Nubarak Nubarak, 46, found a watch in a 20-kilogram bag of Redpath sugar he purchased on Jan. 26 from a store, near Rogers and Weston Rds.
“I just dumped it out into a container for coffee and things and it just fell out,” said Nubarak, who added, “I was shocked, I didn’t know what to do.”
He called Peel Regional Police to find out who he should turn to for help.
On the advice of police, he called Peel’s public health officials who referred him to their counterparts in Toronto where he purchased the sugar.
Nancy Gavin, manager of brand development at Redpath Sugar Ltd., was surprised to learn of the discovery.
She said the company adheres to strict quality guidelines.
“Quality is of the utmost importance to us,” she added.
Quality assurance staff at Redpath have been notified and they have contacted Nubarak to investigate the matter.
“We have metal detectors on the line that would have or should have gone off,” Gavin said.
Gavin added that Redpath takes such matters seriously and its investigators want to examine the product.
Gerry Lawrence, of Toronto Public health, said Nubarak was referred to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency which has been in contact with him.
