Yelm, WA- based Toboton Creek Dairy has recalled retail raw whole milk displaying Best By dates of “2/1” through “2/9” because it may be contaminated with Escherichia coli bacteria (E. coli) that can cause serious illness.
The recall 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 milk dated 2/1 (February 1). The recalled product was bottled in half-gallon containers and was sold via retail stores in Yelm and Olympia, WA as well as on-farm sales. Toboton Creek Dairy and WSDA continue to work jointly to address the source of the problem.
