Saskatoon firefighters were called out Friday morning to a report of an unknown substance at a business in the Sutherland area.
In a release, the fire department says it was called to the 300 block of Jessop Avenue at 11:30 a.m., after getting a report that an unknown substance was delivered to the business.
Hazmat technicians wrapped up their analysis in the afternoon and confirmed the substance to be non-hazardous.
The release says it was a urea derivative, a colourless crystalline powder with little toxicity.
