URGENT RECALL: Popular milk brands recalled across the country over contamination fears

Popular almond milk brands have recalled their products over contamination concerns.

MILKLAB Almond Milk and Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Chocolate Almond Milk are urging anyone who purchased some of their products to return it due to “a potential microbial contamination”.

“This recall includes an earlier recall by RIO Coffee of MILKLAB Almond Milk with a Best Before date of 6 AUG 2021 in SA - this recall has been removed from the website,” the recall explained.

“MILKLAB Almond Milk has been available for sale nationally in various coffee shops and food service outlets.”



The best before dates on the MILKLAB product are the 18 June, 01 July, 20 July, 29 July and 6 August in 2021.

“Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Chocolate Almond Milk has been available for sale in NSW (Coles and Woolworths), QLD (Coles and Woolworths), SA (Coles), TAS (Coles), VIC (Coles and Woolworths) and WA (Coles and Woolworths),” the recall also stated.

For the Blue Diamond product, the best before date is 27 April 2021.

Both the mills are 1L products and have been recalled due to “potential microbial contamination (bacteria pseudomonas)“.

“Food products with microbial contamination may cause illness if consumed,” FSANZ said on their website.

“Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice and should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.”
