‘Do not consume’ warning issued for milk sold in major supermarkets – it’s laced with ‘veterinary antibiotics’
Britons have been urged not to drink a popular milk over fears it is contaminated with animal medicines including penicillin.
Health chiefs have announced that Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling batches of its semi-skimmed milk, with a best before date of July 31.
The recall notice covers England and impacts one pint cartons, one litre cartons, and two litre cartons.
Graham’s supplies major supermarkets such as Tesco, Morrisons, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s with milk.
But the Food Standard Agency said ‘veterinary medicines, including antibiotics (penicillin) have been found’ in the cartons.
They warned that this ‘may make it unsafe to consume and may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics’.
Customers are being advised that they should not drink the milk and instead return it to where it was purchased for a full refund.
Graham’s said the move is a ‘precautionary measure’ and said ‘there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk’.
