The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued a recall on a batch of raw goats’ milk over fears of E. coli.

The specific product in question is Goldsmith Goats Raw Goats Milk, and anyone who has consumed the product and feels unwell is being advised to get in touch with their doctor.

According to the FSAI, all batches and all use-by dates are affected by the recall notice.

The organisation’s alert reads: “Following detection of Escherichia coli O157 vt1 in a batch (use-by 18 Nov 2018) of the above raw goats’ milk, all batches are being recalled.  Point-of-sale notices will be displayed in premises which sold the implicated raw goats’ milk advising customers to return or dispose of all bottles. Anyone that has consumed the product and feels unwell should contact their doctor.”

The FSAI has further attached a photo of product in order to help consumers identify whether or not they’ve bought the affected goat’s milk.
