Urgent contaminated milk recall alert - 'do not consume'
The Food Standards Agency have issued an alert for Graham's Family Dairy milk sold in England which maybe contaminated with veterinary medications
A 'do not consume' warning has been issued for milk after veterinary medicine including penicillin were found in the product.
Graham's Family Dairy is recalling semi-skimmed milk sold in 1 litre, 2 litre and 1 pint bottles with an expiration date of July 31, 2026. The recall is for England only.
Graham's Family Dairy is Scotland's largest independent dairy company and supplies milk, butter, yogurts, ice cream and other dairy products to supermarkets and shops across the UK.
The family-run business issued a recall notice for the items and apologised to customers. The recall notice says: "At Grahams Family Dairy we believe that the quality of our products and the safety of our consumers is paramount.
"Due to this, we are asking our customers not to consume but to return the following products: Grahams Family Dairy one pint semi-skimmed milk with a use by date of July 31, Grahams Family Dairy one litre semi-skimmed milk with a use by date of July 31, Grahams Family Dairy two litre semi-skimmed milk with a use by date of July 31.
"This is a precautionary measure we have taken as there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk which could cause a reaction to consumers with an allergy to antibiotics.
"If you have purchased any of these products, please do not consume. Instead, please return the milk to the store purchased from for refund. We apologise for this issue and would like to reassure our customers no other Grahams Family Dairies products or Use By Dates are affected."
The Food Standards Agency confirmed the product is not safe to consume and said: "The presence of veterinary medicines, including antibiotics in the product may make it unsafe to consume and may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics (penicillin).
"Our advice to consumers is if you have bought the above product, do not consume it. Instead, return it to where you bought it from for a full refund."
