Green Hills Harvest Dairy recalls whole milk
The State Milk Board, the Missouri Department of Agriculture and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, have announced that Green Hills Harvest dairy has voluntarily recalled some of its whole milk from market.
Test results on 8 December reveal alkaline phosphatase level was higher than the regulated standard for Grade pasteurized milk. Presence of alkaline phosphatase may indicate potentially unpasteurized or improperly pasteurized milk, which can contain harmful pathogens.
The sample was collected on 5 December during a randomly scheduled, routine inspection and tested in the Springfield-Greene County Health Department Laboratory.
The dairy's permit to sell milk and milk products in Missouri has been temporarily suspended, pending the results of the investigation by the State Milk Board and Missouri departments of Agriculture and Health and Senior Services.
The withdrawn milk is packaged in one-half gallon, glass bottles labeled Grade 'A' and marked with the code '12-14' on the bottle's cap. The affected milk is less than 500 gallons and does not include 2% or skim milk or any other dairy products from the company.
