The California Department of Food and Agriculture is urging consumers to dispose of some raw goat milk produced by Valley Milk Simply Bottled.
The goat milk is being recalled following detection of the bacterium Campylobacter jejuni in the Modesto-based farm’s packaged raw whole goat milk.
The recall is for goat milk labeled either “Valley Milk Simply Bottled Raw Goat Milk” or “DESI MILK Raw Goat Milk” distributed in half-gallon plastic containers with a date of Oct. 21 through Oct. 31, 2022.
The current recall order does not apply to the Modesto-based farm’s raw cow milk, according to a statement from the department.
No illnesses have been reported. The bacterium was found during routine testing.
According to the department, campylobacteriosis usually causes mild symptoms but can cause worse reactions for people with compromised immune systems.
