Urgent Recall: Popular Milk Product Contaminated – Do Not Consume

A major milk product recall has been issued due to potential contamination. Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators immediately and discard any affected products.

Consumers across the nation are advised to immediately check their refrigerators for a popular milk product, "Creamy Valley Milk," after a significant recall was announced this morning by the manufacturer, Dairy Delight Inc. The recall is due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious illness, particularly in pregnant women, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

What Products are Affected?

The recall affects Creamy Valley Milk, specifically the 1-gallon and half-gallon containers with the following best-before dates:

• 1-Gallon: October 26th, 2024 and October 27th, 2024
• Half-Gallon: October 25th, 2024 and October 28th, 2024

These dates are printed on the top of the carton. Do not consume the milk if your carton displays these dates. Even if the milk appears to be safe, it is crucial to discard it immediately.

What is Listeria Monocytogenes?

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. In severe cases, listeriosis can lead to meningitis, a life-threatening infection of the brain and spinal cord. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable, as the infection can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature delivery.

What Should Consumers Do?

Dairy Delight Inc. urges consumers who have purchased the affected Creamy Valley Milk products to:

1. Immediately check their refrigerators. Locate any cartons matching the affected best-before dates listed above.
2. Do not consume the milk. Even if it appears fresh, it should be discarded.
3. Dispose of the milk properly. Place the contaminated milk in a sealed plastic bag before discarding it in the trash.
4. Clean thoroughly. Clean any surfaces that may have come into contact with the contaminated milk using hot, soapy water.
5. Contact Dairy Delight Inc. If you experienced any adverse health effects after consuming the affected product, contact Dairy Delight Inc. at 1-800-555-DAIRY (1-800-555-3247) for further assistance.
