Why the food recalled:
​After several customer complaints about sour milk, the dairy has established that there has been a break in the cold chain. This means that there has been an opportunity for bacteria to grow in the milk, and this has made the milk sour and therefore unsuitable as food.

What should you do as a consumer:
​​​​The Danish Food and Beverage Agency advises consumers to return the products to the store, where they were purchased, or to discard them.
