Horizon Organic Aseptic Plain Whole Milk is being recalled because it may be contaminated with spoilage microorganisms. This is an issue because this product is shelf-stable, which means it does not require refrigeration. Lack of temperature control can mean that these organisms could grow quickly in the product.
Because this recall notice was posted on the FDA’s Enforcement Reports page, and not the regular recall page, there is no information about whether or not any illnesses have been reported to the company to date in connection with the consumption of this product. The recalling firm is Horizon Organic Dairy, LLC of Broomfield, Colorado.
Spoilage microorganisms will most likely not make you very sick, but some people, especially those with compromised immune systems, the very young, and the elderly, may become sick enough to require medical care.
