The Connecticut Department of
Agriculture (CT DoAg) Bureau of Regulatory Services is investigating an
incident involving Guida’s Dairy in New Britain, CT. The incident is regarding
1% low-fat half-pint milk cartons with a sell by date of APR 11 that contains
diluted sanitizer.
The preliminary investigation
report indicates that the actual issue is limited to milk within a specific
time range of 4:30 and 7:30 and code stamped on the cartons. This milk had
limited distribution in New Jersey. Therefore,
any other Guida’s Dairy 1% lowfat milk in cartons with sell by dates other than
APR 11 and timestamps other than 04:30-07:30 may be distributed.
However, out of an abundance of
caution Guida’s Dairy is asking all institutional customers possessing 1%
low-fat half-pint milk cartons with a sell by date of APR 11 to dispose of the
product. This guidance only applies to institutional customers. The affected
product is not available at retail outlets for consumer purchase.
Guida’s
Dairy is cooperating fully with CT DoAg regulatory officials.
