Forth Valley dairy orders urgent milk recall
People are being warned not to drink milk after a popular Forth Valley dairy that supplies products across the UK issued a recall.
Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling its semi-skimmed milk with an expiration date of July 31, 2026, for fear the product has been contaminated with vet medicine including penicillin.
The recall affects one-litre, two-litre, and single-pint bottles sold throughout Britain, as the products could be a danger to health for anyone allergic to antibiotics.
Based in Bridge of Allan, Graham’s Family Dairy is the UK’s largest independent dairy company, and sells a range of items including milk, butter, yoghurts and ice cream.
The dairy company supplies milk to supermarket brands across Britain including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA and Morrisons.
Food Standards Scotland, in a recall notice on their website 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).
The dairy owners said in a statement: “At Grahams Family Dairy we believe that the quality of our products and the safety of our consumers is paramount.
“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 firm has apologised for the issue, and assured customers that no other products or use by dates are affected.
