Graham’s Semi-Skimmed Milk Recalled After Veterinary Medicines Found

Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling selected semi-skimmed milk in England and Scotland after veterinary medicines, including the antibiotic penicillin, were found. The contamination may make the milk unsafe to drink and presents a particular concern for people with a penicillin allergy.

What’s Affected

• Product: Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk
• Pack sizes: 1 pint, 1 litre and 2 litres
• Best before: 31 July 2026 for all three sizes

What You Should Do

Do not drink the affected milk. Take it back to the shop where you bought it for a full refund. The FSA’s advice to avoid consuming this batch applies to all customers, including those without an antibiotic allergy.

Why This Is a Product Recall

The reported issue is the presence of veterinary medicines, including penicillin, rather than milk missing from an allergen label. The FSA says those residues may make the product unsafe to consume and identifies an additional concern for people allergic to penicillin. The instruction to stop drinking the affected milk therefore applies to all customers.

The notice does not give a measured concentration or explain how the medicines entered these packs. It would be speculation to estimate an individual dose or describe a particular farm or processing failure.

Three Sizes, One Date

The same 31 July best-before date applies to the pint, one-litre and two-litre sizes. If you bought several sizes, check each container rather than treating one matching bottle as the whole purchase. The alert is specific to England and Scotland and names semi-skimmed milk, so use the product description as well as the date when discussing a return with the retailer.
