FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - A voluntary recall has been issued, affecting products from a Fresno raw dairy company, the California Department of Public Health announced.
Officials say the voluntary recall was issued for all Raw Farm, LLC milk and cream products that remain on retail shelves due to a possible bird flu contamination.
According to officials, the voluntary recall follows the detection of bird flu contamination in the company's milk and dairy in the past week, and they add the company's products have tested positive for the virus at both retail and dairy storage and bottling sites in recent days.
The recall affected all milk and cream products from Raw Farm, LLC produced between Nov. 3 and Nov. 27. The affected lot numbers are 20241109 through 20241127, which includes lots from Nov. 27 and Nov. 24, also recently recalled, officials said.
Although the recall only applies to milk and cream products from Raw Farm, health department officials urge everyone to avoid consuming any of their products, including raw milk, cheese, and kefir, as well as raw milk pet food topper and pet food kefir marketed to pet owners.
The company has also been placed under quarantine. Health department officials say pasteurized milk remains safe to drink.
