The Connecticut Department of Agricultural has issued a “stop sale” and recall on raw milk from Nature View Dairy because of two cases of illness tied to the dairy’s unpasteurized milk were confirmed.
The two patients developed Campylobacter infections after drinking the farm’s raw milk. The farm is complying with the shut down of its raw milk operations and is cooperating with the state’s investigation, which included additional samples which also tested positive for the bacterium common in raw milk and a cause of foodborne illness, according to the agricultural department.
“Consumers should be cautious when ingesting raw milk products, especially those in high-risk categories,” said Agriculture Commissioner Bryan P. Hurlburt.
Food and beverages contaminated with Campylobacter may not look, smell or taste bad.
Symptoms of Campylobacter infection can include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps that may be accompanied by vomiting and nausea. Symptoms usually start two to five days after the person ingests campylobacter bacteria and last about one week.
The state Department of Public Health advises anyone who has those symptoms more than two days after drinking milk from the farm should consult with their doctor.
The farm sells at farm and natural food stores and grocers in the state.
Consumers who have purchased bottled raw milk from Nature View Dairy should discontinue use, and either discard, or return the bottle to where they purchased the raw milk for a full refund. Consumers with questions should contact Nature View Dairy at 860-355-3276 during the daytime hours.
Raw milk does not undergo pasteurization, a process that removes disease causing germs by heating milk to a high enough temperature for a specific length of time.
