Gallons Sold in 2 States Could Contain Harmful Cleaning Agents

Prairie Farms has recalled certain gallons of fat-free milk, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on November 26. The milk, distributed to Woodman’s markets in Illinois and Wisconsin, may contain “food-grade cleaning agents” that could cause illness if consumed.

The recall involves gallons of Prairie Farms fat-free milk produced in Dubuque, Iowa, with the following identifiers:

• Code date: DEC08
• Factory code: PLT19-145
• Impacted production window (time stamp): 5:51 p.m.-9:23 p.m.
• UPC: 7273023117

About 320 gallons of the recalled milk were sold before Prairie Farms discovered the contamination on Nov. 24, when it was alerted to a potential quality problem. The FDA report does not specify whether anyone became ill from the contaminated milk.

If you have milk, don’t drink it. Instead, throw it away or return it for a refund. Consumers with questions can contact Prairie Farms Dairy at media@prairiefarms.com.
