A cautionary alert has been issued regarding milk due to the detection of veterinary medicine, including penicillin, in the product. Graham’s Family Dairy has initiated a recall of its semi-skimmed milk available in 1 litre, 2 litre, and 1 pint containers with an expiry date of July 31, 2026, limited to England.
Being Scotland’s primary independent dairy enterprise, Graham’s Family Dairy supplies supermarkets and stores across the UK with milk, butter, yogurts, ice cream, and other dairy items. The family-operated company has issued a recall notice for the affected products and expressed regret to its customers, emphasizing the importance of product quality and consumer safety.
The recall notice advises customers not to consume the following products: one pint semi-skimmed milk, one litre semi-skimmed milk, and two litres semi-skimmed milk, all bearing a use-by date of July 31. This precautionary action was taken due to the potential presence of trace amounts of antibiotics in the milk, posing a risk of allergic reactions to individuals sensitive to antibiotics.
Customers who have purchased the mentioned products are urged not to consume them but to return the items to the store of purchase for a refund. The company reassures customers that no other products or use-by dates from Grahams Family Dairies are affected by this issue.
The Food Standards Agency has confirmed that the contaminated milk is unsafe for consumption, citing potential health risks for individuals allergic to antibiotics, particularly penicillin. Consumers are advised not to consume the milk and to return it to the point of purchase for a full refund.
