Graham’s Family Dairy recalls Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines including antibiotics (penicillin)
Why it was recalled
Graham's Family Dairy is recalling its semi-skimmed milk after veterinary medicines, including the antibiotic penicillin, were found in the product. Medicines given to cows must not end up in milk that reaches shops, so the affected batch has been withdrawn.
For most people the health risk from a small amount of residue is low, but the milk does not meet safety standards and should not be drunk. Anyone with a penicillin allergy faces a more direct risk, since even small traces can trigger a reaction.
