A brand of milk sold at multiple UK supermarkets has been recalled after it was found to contain veterinary medicines, including antibiotics.

Graham’s Family Dairy has urged shoppers not to consume its semi-skimmed milk as it is ‘unsafe to consume and may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics’.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says one-pint, one-litre, and two-litre bottles with a best-before date of July 31, 2026 are all affected.

The milk is sold at supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, and Morrisons. Those who have bought affected products can return them for a full refund.

Point-of-sale notices will be put on display in all stores selling affected products, outlining what customers should do if they have bought the milk and the reason it has been recalled.

Graham’s Family Dairy said: ‘At Graham’s Family Dairy we believe that the quality of our products and the safety of our consumers is paramount…

‘This is a precautionary measure we have taken as there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk which could cause a reaction to consumers with an allergy to antibiotics.

‘If you have purchased any of these products, please do not consume. Instead, please return the milk to the store purchased from for refund.

‘We apologise for this issue and would like to reassure our customers no other Grahams Family Dairies products or use by dates are affected.

‘If you have any queries or require further information on this notice, we can be contacted via our website at http://www.grahamsfamilydairy.com.’
