The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is anyone that has raw milk products from The Family Cow in Chambersburg, to throw them away.

Raw milk and raw-milk cheese from a retail store and online for pick-up at over 50 locations in Pennsylvania may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria.

The Family Cow products are available for pick up in nearly 20 locations in Western PA.

Samples were tested this month and were confirmed to be contaminated with Salmonella, “following a recent spike in reported salmonella infections that included those who ate and drank the dairy’s unpasteurized milk products,” the department said.

“Raw milk sold in plastic pint, half-gallon, and gallon containers as well as a variety of cheese products were sold at the farm’s store at 3854 Olde Scotland Road in Chambersburg, Franklin County and at additional retail locations that could not be confirmed by the business,” the Department of Agriculture said. “Product were also sold to online customers at yourfamilyfarmer.com for pick-up at locations statewide.”
