A POPULAR milk product stocked in Tesco, Asda and Morrisons has been urgently recalled over allergy fears.
Cartons are being pulled off shelves after “veterinary medicines” were detected.
The Food Standards Agency warned that drinking the milk poses a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics, including penicillin.
This notice only applies to England, it clarified.
It applies to all sizes of the semi skimmed milk with the use-by date of July 31.
A statement read: “Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk because veterinary medicines, including antibiotics (penicillin) have been found in the product.
“Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product and/or on their website.
“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
“If you have bought the above product, do not consume it. Instead, return it to where you bought it from for a full refund.”
The company said in a notice: “This is a precautionary measure we have taken as there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk which could cause a reaction to consumers with an
allergy to antibiotics.
“If you have purchased any of these products, please do not consume.
“Instead, please return the milk to the store purchased from for a refund.
“We apologise for this issue and would like to reassure our customers no other Graham’s Family Dairies products or Use By Dates are affected.”
