We wanted to be sure you are aware of a recent recall of raw whole milk and cream products announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) due to multiple H5 bird flu virus detections.

The recall of Raw Farm, LLC’s includes all sizes of raw whole milk and cream products produced after November 9, 2024. In addition to the statewide voluntary recall, CDFA has placed the farm under quarantine, suspending any new distribution of its raw milk, cream, kefir, butter and cheese products produced on or after November 27.

A recent statewide recall by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) reported additional detections of bird flu virus in samples taken from a raw milk bulk tank at the Valley Milk Simply Bottled dairy farm of Stanislaus County.

The products impacted by this new recall may be marketed as Valley Milk Simply Bottled Raw Cow Milk and DESI Milk Raw Cow Milk and are distributed in quart (32 oz), half gallon (64 oz), and one gallon (128 oz) plastic jugs. The recalled jugs have an expiration date of DEC 23 2024 through DEC 30 2024 marked on the container.

All Raw Farms products sold at the Co-op are under a recall.  Please return any products for your full refund at the store.  Products include milk, kefir, butter, and cheese.
