Recall of Organic Raw Cream

Organic Pastures Grade A raw cream with code dates Sept. 14 through Sept. 21 has been recalled by the FDA due to a possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Those at serious risk include adults, infants, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems.

On Sept. 7, the California Department of Food and Agriculture ordered Organic Pastures Dairy Company to withdraw raw cream products from all distributors. The bacteria, Listeria, was found in the products during regular laboratory testing.

Pasteurization reduces bacterial diseases, but raw cream does not undergo the process.

Symptoms of illness include:

• fever
• muscle aches
  
• nausea
  
• diarrhea

No illnesses have been reported.

Products should be returned to the place of purchase for a refund or trashed!

The company may be reached at 559- 352-6585.
