Third-Party Manufacturer Voluntary Recall
On Monday, August 8, we were notified by Lyons Magnus that 12 production lots of Organic Valley 12-packs of 8 oz. Aseptic Single Milk previously produced at one of their facilities would be one of several brands included in an expansion of a Class 1 Voluntary Recall. Specific lots of Organic Valley 12-pack 8oz Aseptic Single Milk items with screw caps are being voluntarily recalled due to the potential for microbial contamination. The majority of our Aseptic single serves are not impacted by this recall. If you have purchased any of these products, please do not consume them. Dispose them or return them to point of purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
This recall is being conducted due to the potential for microbial contamination, including from the organisms Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum. Although Clostridium botulinum has not been found in products, consumers are warned not to consume any of the recalled products even if they do not look or smell spoiled. While infection related to Cronobacter sakazakii is rare, the common symptoms of illness could include fever, vomiting and urinary tract infection. However, vulnerable and immunocompromised populations may be susceptible to more severe symptoms.
Clostridium botulinum may cause a severe form of food poisoning. It can begin from six hours to two weeks after eating food that contains the toxin. Symptoms may include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness. Botulism poisoning can cause respiratory paralysis, resulting in death, unless assistance with breathing is provided.
Yes, we will arrange for a coupon or monetary reimbursement if you dispose of the product.
