Local News in Brief : Raw Milk Products Recalled by Officials
State health officials have issued a recall for Stueve’s Natural Raw Certified Milk because of the presence of salmonella, a harmful bacteria.
The order applies to those brands of Stueve’s Natural containing the code date DEC 6E, according to the Department of Food and Agriculture. The products affected by the action are the City of Industry firm’s whole and nonfat raw milk and the company’s raw cream.
People who purchased Stueve’s Natural raw milk products with the DEC 6E coding are advised not to consume the product.
“Salmonella can cause vomiting, diarrhea and fever,” said Dr. Ronald Roberto of the state’s Department of Health Services. “In infants, elderly and debilitated individuals, the disease (salmonellosis) can be serious and occasionally fatal.”
