An urgent "do not consume" recall has been issued for Graham's Family Dairy semi-skimmed milk with a use-by date of 31 July 2026 after routine testing suggested traces of veterinary medicines, including antibiotics, may be present.
Products Affected
The recall applies to the following pack sizes sold across the United Kingdom: one pint (568 ml), one litre and two litres. If you have purchased any of these items with a use-by date of 31 July 2026, do not drink the milk.
What To Do
Customers should return affected packs to the retailer where they were purchased for a full refund. Alternatively, contact the retailer's customer service or Graham's Family Dairy for further instructions. Do not discard the packaging until you have checked refund or return policies, if requested by the retailer.
Health Risks
Food Standards Scotland said the action was taken because of the "presence of veterinary medicines". The agency warned that antibiotics in the product could make it unsafe to consume and may pose a health risk to people with allergies to antibiotics, including penicillin. Anyone who suspects they have been exposed and develops symptoms such as hives, facial or throat swelling, difficulty breathing, dizziness, or other allergic reactions should seek medical attention immediately.
Company Response
Graham's Family Dairy — Scotland's largest independent dairy — apologised for the incident and described the recall as a precautionary measure. The company said there is a small risk that trace levels of antibiotics may be present and confirmed that no other products or use-by dates are affected.
