USA – Oklahoma dairy recalls unpasteurized, raw milk after state finds Listeria monocytogenes

Posted on November 15, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Listeria kswfoodworld food safety food poisoning

Image CDC

An Oklahoma dairy is recalling unpasteurized, raw milk because the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry found Listeria monocytogenes in it.

Swan Bros. Dairy of Claremore, OK, had a similar recall this past July when officials found Listeria contamination of its raw milk. 

The current recall involves raw milk the dairy sold in plastic jugs of half-gallons, gallons and pints. The milk was sold directly from the Swan Bros. Dairy. The statewide recall includes raw whole milk, raw 2-percent milk, raw skim milk and raw heavy cream sold in pints.

State health officials are urging consumers who bought the milk to discard it immediately and throughly clean and sanitize and containers or storage areas the milk came into contact with. 

Also, anyone who has consumed the raw milk should monitor themselves for 70 days because it can take that long for symptoms of Listeria infection to develop.

State officials found the Listeria monocytogenes in a routine sample collected from Swan Bros. Dairy Inc.
