New Britain-based Guida's Dairy inadvertently packaged and shipped school lunch-sized milk cartons containing a diluted sanitizer, according to the state Department of Agriculture.

Dozens of children in Camden, NJ drank from the cartons, with some winding up in the hospital. All have been treated and released.


The cartons are not sold in stores. Guida's is asking institutions to dispose of half-pint cartons of its 1% milk with a sell-by date of Apr. 11.
