Check your fridge: Second milk recall announced at Coles, Woolies and IGA
Published: Fri, 21 June, 2019
A second milk recall has been announced this month over fears of possible E.coli contamination.
Dairy company Lactalis Australia announced a recall for milk sold at Coles, Woolworths, IGA and other stores in Victoria and parts of NSW.
The company said the contamination cannot be detected by taste, smell and sight, and might make people sick if consumed.
The company has identified the source of contamination “and has taken the necessary steps to address it and prevent any recurrence of this problem in the future”, it said.
Last week, the same company recalled one-litre milk under the brand Coles, Pauls, REV and PhysiCAL due to fears that a cleaning solution had made its way Into the batch.
Lactalis said the affected milk may have “yellowish colouring and/or metallic chemical taste”.
Shoppers who have bought the milk brands are advised not to consume the products and return them for a refund.
