Green Field Farms Co-op: Chocolate Milk Recalled Due to Improper Pasteurization

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Green Field Farms Co-op is recalling 1,242 units of Chocolate Milk because it was not properly pasteurized. The recall affects milk sold in three sizes: 1/2 gallon glass jars, 53oz plastic bottles, and 12oz plastic bottles, all marked with a 'Best By' date of September 29, 2021. This issue was discovered through testing that found phosphatase, which indicates the milk did not reach the necessary temperature to kill potential pathogens. Consumers should not drink this milk and should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Improper pasteurization means the milk may contain harmful bacteria that are normally destroyed during the heating process. This poses a risk of foodborne illness if the contaminated product is consumed.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator for Green Field Farms Chocolate Milk in 1/2 gallon glass jars, 53oz plastic bottles, or 12oz plastic bottles.
  2. Locate the batch information on the container to see if it matches Batch Number 9/7/21 with a Best By date of 09/29/2021.
  3. If you have an affected bottle, do not consume the milk; either dispose of it immediately or return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
  4. Contact Green Field Farms Co-op at their Fredericksburg, Ohio location if you have specific questions regarding this voluntary recall.
  5. For additional information or to report a problem, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
