Tenino, WA’s Cozy Vale Creamery is advising consumers to discontinue consumption of their retail raw milk and cream products with the best by dates of 3-1 through 3-9 and dispose of or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. These products, which were bottled in one gallon, half-gallon, quart, and pint containers, were sold to customers, including retail stores, in Western Washington.
The advisory was initiated after routine sampling conducted by the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) revealed the presence of toxin-producing E. coli in retail raw whole milk and cream dated 3-1 (March 1). Cozy Vale Creamery and WSDA continue to work jointly to address the source of the problem.
