Tesco and the Food Standards Agency have issued an urgent warning not to consume certain bottles of Grahams Family Dairy milk with a use-by date of Friday, July 31. The recall affects products sold in Scottish stores.
Products affected
The recalled items are: 1 Pint Semi Skim Use By 31st July, 1 Litre Semi Skim Use By 31st July, and 2 Litre Semi Skim Use By 31st July. They were sold at Tesco.
Reason for recall
Grahams Family Dairy, based in Stirling, said a batch may have been contaminated by antibiotics. The Food Standards Agency warned that the presence of veterinary medicines, including antibiotics, could pose a health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics or penicillin.
What to do
Customers who purchased the affected milk should not consume it. Instead, they should return it to the store where they bought it for a full refund. Notices are being placed at points of sale.
Grahams Family Dairy stated: “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.”
