The following health alert is from the FDA and Foodmanufacturing.comon September 8, 2010.

Midland Farms, located in Menands, NY, is voluntarily recalling certain milk products due to the potential of improper pasteurization. Proper pasteurization heats milk in order to effectively eliminate all pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria and Salmonella. The milk was marketed under the brand names Midland Farms, Corrado's Market, Jersey Dairy Farms and Trade Fair Premium. It went in sizes from pints to gallons to stores in NY, CT, MA, NJ and RI. Inspectors found failed pasteurization equipment at the Midlands Farm plant near Albany on Sept. 7. Consumers should look for the plant code 36-1661 and a Sept. 24 date code. Milk should be returned to the place it was bought.
