A popular brand of milk sold in UK supermarkets has been recalled over fears it may contain veterinary medicines.
Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling some of its semi-skimmed milk as it “may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics”.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said that the recall notice affected one-pint, one-litre, and two-litre bottles with a best-before date of July 31, 2026.
Those who have bought one of the affected products have been told not to consume it and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Point-of-sale notices will be put on display in all stores selling affected products, outlining what customers should do if they have bought the milk and the reason it has been recalled.
The FSA said that the reason for the recall is the “presence of veterinary medicines”.
It added: “Antibiotics in the product may make it unsafe to consume and may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics including penicillin.”
Graham's Family Dairy is Scotland’s largest independent dairy company, with products including milk, butter, yoghurts and ice cream.
The milk is sold at supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, and Morrisons across the UK.
The company has issued a statement apologising for the issue, and assuring customers that no other products are affected.
The statement read: “At Graham’s Family Dairy we believe that the quality of our products and the safety of our consumers is paramount. This is a precautionary measure we have taken as there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk which could cause a reaction to consumers with an allergy to antibiotics.
“If you have purchased any of these products, please do not consume. Instead, please return the milk to the store purchased from for a refund. We apologise for this issue and would like to reassure our customers no other Grahams Family Dairies products or use by dates are affected.”
