According to the Columbia Basin Herald, Odessa’s Schoonover Farms LLC on Thursday voluntarily recalled raw whole milk and cream because it might be contaminated with E. coli (Escherichia coli bacteria), according to a release from the company.
No known illnesses caused by E. coli were associated with the product as of Thursday, but routine sampling by the Washington State Department of Agriculture showed the presence of toxin-producing E. coli in retail raw cream dated Dec. 23.
So retail raw whole milk and cream with best by dates of Dec. 23 through Jan. 2 (“12-23” through “1-2”) were recalled. The product is in 8-ounce, quart, half-gallon and 1-gallon bottle containers and sold to consumers in Odessa and stores in the Spokane area.
