The Washington State Department of Agriculture is, according to this story, warning people who bought raw milk from a Shaw Island dairy the week of April 7 to throw out the milk because of possible Listeria contamination.
Valoria Loveland, agriculture director for the state, issued the warning Thursday.
A routine sample of unpasteurized milk taken April 7 from Our Lady of the Rock Dairy in San Juan County tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, according to a statement from WSDA.
“If consumers have raw milk from Our Lady of the Rock Dairy, they should discard it immediately,” Loveland said in the statement.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the incident. WSDA advised people who drank raw milk from the dairy to contact their doctor or the local health department if they do become ill.
