Valley Milk Raw Cow’s Milk Recalled For Possible Campylobacter
Contamination

Valley Milk raw cow’s milk is being recalled for possible Campylobacter
contamination, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
The milk is subject to a statewide recall and quarantine order announced by
California State Veterinarian Dr. Annette Jones. The farm is located in
Stanislaus County, California. No illnesses have been reported to date in
connection with the consumption of this product.

Lab confirmed detection of Campylobacter jejuni in the farm’s packaged raw

whole cow’s milk triggered the recall. The California Department of Food and
Agriculture conducted the test. Raw milk has not been pasteurized to destroy
bacteria that can cause illness.

Symptoms of a Campylobacter infection include diarrhea, abdominal pain and

cramps, and fever. Illness usually occurs two to five days after infection. Most
people are sick for about a week, and most people recover with no medical
attention. But in some people, campylobacteriosis can cause a complication
called Guillain-Barre syndrome that can cause paralysis. If you have been ill
with these symptoms, see your doctor.
