Family Cow Raw Milk Update

The Family Cow Raw Milk Update

Febraury 8, 2012

East End Food Co-op will bring The Family Cow brand raw milk back to our shelves this Friday, February 10th.

On January 27thwe removed this brand of raw milk from our shelves as a precaution because of a PA Department of Agriculture investigation into illnesses caused by Campylobactor bacteria that may have been linked to this raw milk.  The family farm in Franklin County which produces the raw milk voluntarily halted production and worked closely with the Health Department and Department of Agriculture to determine if there was a problem with their raw milk product.

Campylobactor infection can cause symptoms such vomiting and diarrhea, and can lead to other blood and tissue disorders.

The Health Department and farm asked that all The Family Cow brand raw milk dated after January 1, 2012 be discarded.  East End Food Co-op removed this raw milk from our shelves, and contacted as many customers who purchased this milk as possible.  We also placed signage in the store, and included information about the voluntary removal of the milk on our website.

Forty three confirmed cases of Campylobactor infection have been reported across Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia.   In Maryland, two unopened bottles of The Family Cow brand raw milk contained Campylobactor bacteria

However, independent tests and three consecutive Department of Agriculture tests on current supplies of the raw milk at the farm in Franklin County, PA have tested negative for Campylobactor and other harmful bacteria.  As of February 6, 2012, the farm has passed the final PA Department of Agriculture inspection and can begin to produce and sell raw milk, again.

East End Food Co-op has continued to sell other brands of local raw milk during this investigation.  We are committed to providing local agricultural products that our members and customers want, and that meet government standards for safety and quality.
