Ortonville's Cook's Farm Dairy Recalls Ice Cream and Milk Over Pasteurization Record ConcernsSource: Google Street View

Cook's Farm Dairy, headquartered in Ortonville, Michigan, has initiated a voluntary recall of certain ice cream and milk products. This action was taken due to issues concerning pasteurization not meeting standards, with "inadequate recordings" on the pasteurization charts noted during a routine inspection by a dairy inspector from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), as reported by CBS News Detroit.

The products subject to recall include multiple batches of ice cream in 1.5 Qt. and Pint containers across all flavors and various lots of milk in gallon, ½ gallon, and pint containers, in all varieties. The recall was triggered despite there being no reported illnesses or injuries linked to these products. In a statement obtained by ClickOnDetroit, Quinton Cook, a representative of the dairy farm, acknowledged the mechanical issues in record keeping and assured that the problems were immediately addressed.

The affected retail locations span several Southeast Michigan areas, with the dairy's products being distributed to merchants that include A Bean To Go in Goodrich and Meijer in Oxford, among others. With the potential scope of the issue, MDARD has underscored, according to a MidMichiganNow report, that they are taking this matter seriously, although no negative health reports have been received to date.

Individuals who have purchased any of the recalled items are encouraged to contact Quinton R. Cook directly with any questions, concerns, or comments. Full details of the recalled products, including the specific batch numbers and code dates, have been shared by the dairy and are viewable on notices sent to the various retail locations as well as online. Customers can reach out to Cook at 248-249-3002 or send an inquiry to [email protected] for further guidance. The farm has emphasized its dedication to rectifying the situation swiftly and apologized for any inconvenience caused.
