“During routine inspection, a preliminary test showed the presence of Listeria bacteria in some of the raw milk samples taken from Fisher’s Dairy,” said Wolff. “If consumers have raw milk from this farm, they should discard it immediately.”

There have been no illnesses reported because of the potential contamination, but if individuals who consumed the raw milk become ill, they are advised to consult their physician.

Raw milk is milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized. The Department of Agriculture has suspended sales of raw milk at the dairy and is ensuring that corrective action is taken. Samples taken from the farm during routine testing on April 9 tested positive for Listeria on April 13. Multiple laboratory samples must come back negative before sales can resume.
