A woman from Christian Island, Ont., is searching for answers after she says she found a dead rodent in her bagged milk.

Shaylynn Marsden says she's traumatized after finding a dead mouse in one of the milk bags she's been using.In Shaylynn Marsden's household, milk is a staple. With a three-year-old son who loves a glass before bed and with his meals, she can never have enough in the house."I could see the tail and the hair, and I knew right away that it was a mouse," said Marsden, 28, who lives on Christian Island on Georgian Bay.

Experts say that while this incident is disturbing, it's a rare occurrence. But to Marsden, the reassurance means little. She says she's lost trust in the institutions meant to safeguard food safety and is worried about the potential health consequences. After he was diagnosed with asthma last year, she's worried about how exposure to a rodent might further impact his immune system.Marsden filed an online complaint with the company on March 30.Saputo, the company that owns Neilson Dairy, said in an email to CBC News it's aware of the complaint.

"We have one of the safest food safety systems in the world," Young said. "Occasionally there are breakdowns in quality control ... but overall I would say, thankfully, things like this are quite rare."Young said it's hard to know how the incident happened, but depending on the facilities and how the milk is funnelled into bags, more than one package of milk could have been contaminated.

Marsden says she didn't report her diarrhea symptoms at the time of the complaint, but reported it to Telehealth officials.Marsden lives in Beausoleil First Nation on Christian Island, located in the southern tip of Georgian Bay, about an hour away from Midland, Ont.

CBC you got nothing better to report 🙄 when did you guys become the inquiry😂…

What is a dead “mouth”? Do you know how to edit?

That's effing disgusting 5 000 000$ in damages.

Let’s cut to the chase. This woman is not searching for answers. She’s searching for how she can receive a direct deposit from this. I hope she gets the money bag next time, no pun intended. The Milk company was caught slipping red handed. Pay the lady. Get it over with.
