Please note that this recalled product is outdated and no longer available for sale. Still, consumers are urged to check their refrigerators and freezers and not consume the recalled organic basil if they have it.

The company is conducting this recall with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's (FDA's) knowledge.

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has issued a warning to consumers in Schuyler County and surrounding areas against consuming raw milk from Sunset View Creamery LLC due to potential contamination with Campylobacter jejuni. The farm, located at 4970 County Road 14, Odessa, New … See More
York, has been linked to one reported illness potentially associated with this product.

The contamination was discovered in an investigative sample of the milk collected by a Department inspector. The producer was notified of a preliminary positive test result on April 25, 2024, and further laboratory testing confirmed the presence of Campylobacter jejuni in the raw milk sample on April 29, 2024. The farm is now prohibited from selling raw milk until subsequent testing shows the product is free of the bacteria.

The Department also emphasized that raw milk does not provide the protection of pasteurization, a process that kills bacteria responsible for numerous illnesses and diseases. Pasteurization is recognized internationally as an effective means of preventing outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, including campylobacteriosis.

In case you experience Campylobacter symptoms such as diarrhea (often bloody), fever, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
