Eight varieties of milk sold in Victoria and Southern NSW have been recalled amid fears they could contain cleaning fluid.
Lactalis Australia, the dairy company who produces the one litre Coles, Pauls, PhysiCAL and REV branded milk, recalled the milk yesterday claiming they could contain “an amount of food grade dairy cleaning solution”.
The recalled milk was available for sale in Coles, Woolworths, IGA and other retailers, however the affected milk only covers a four-day use by date range.
The recall is only for one-litre bottles.
The bad batch has best-before dates ranging from 25th June to 28th June 2019 and could have a yellowish tinge, and a chemical taste, the Company said.
Coles have declared in a statement they sold the milk in across Victoria and into southern parts of NSW including the towns of Albury, Deniliquin, Lavington, and Tocumwal.
