New York State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball today alerted consumers that Pasteurized Chocolate Milk produced by Meadowbrook Farms Dairy, which is located in Clarksville, New York, is being recalled due to improper pasteurization. Proper pasteurization heats milk to effectively eliminate all pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria and Salmonella. To date, no illnesses have been reported to the Department in connection with this product.
The recalled Chocolate Milk was sold across the Capital Region and was packaged in half gallon, glass containers that were processed on April 24, 2024. The affected lot has a black dot on the cap signifying the lot code.
Routine inspection conducted by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets revealed that this lot of product was improperly pasteurized. Consumers with questions about this product should contact Charles Van Wie at (518) 768-2451.
