Lion Dairy & Drinks and Coles supermarkets have been forced to recall a series of products distributed throughout Western Australia following suspicions of a bacterial contamination. The recall relates specifically to products manufactured on 23 January at the Bentley dairy site.
Coles, which contracts Lion Dairy to produce its home brand milk, has also pulled its fresh hilo milk 98% fat free and full cream milks, both 1L cartons and with an expiry of 6 February.
