Listeria Contamination in Pennsylvania Raw Milk
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has warned consumers to discard raw milk purchased from Fisher’s Dairy Farm in Portersville, PA due to a high risk of Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The dairy’s permit to sell raw milk was revoked in 2006, but state inspectors purchased raw milk from the dairy on March 6. Samples taken from the milk tested positive for Listeria four days later. Symptoms related to Listeria can be quite severe, resulting in death and miscarriage. No illnesses have been reported in this case.
