Pa. Dept. of Agriculture recalls raw milk due to contamination concerns – NBC10 Philadelphia
Raw milk that was sold in parts of Southeastern and Southcentral Pennsylvania has been recalled by the state’s department of agriculture due to contamination concerns.
On Wednesday, the Pa. Dept. of Agriculture warned customers to immediately any Meadow View Jerseys brand raw milk that has been purchased since April 1, 2025, with sell by dates that fall between April 15 and July 8, 2025.
The recall, state officials said, is due to the milk testing positive for Campylobacter contamination.
Officials said campylobacteriosis is most common in children, though people of all ages can be affected.
Symptoms, they said, include mild to severe diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain and cramping.
The onset of the illness most often begins two to five days after exposure and, officials said thought it is rare, Campylobacter can spread to the bloodstream and cause life threatening infection for those persons with compromised immune systems.
The Dept. of Agriculture said that the farm has contacted wholesalers that distributed the milk, but the department could not obtain a list of customers who purchased it.
A current list of Meadow View Jerseys Dairy distributors was not available, officials said, but milk with the farm’s label was available in the following locations in 2024:
