UPDATE: For the second time this week dairy company Lactalis Australia has announced a milk recall over fears about possible E.coli microbial contamination.

The milk being recalled includes 1- and 2-litre bottles of milk sold at Coles, Woolworths, IGA and other stores in Victoria, Southern New South Wales, the Murray, Riverina and western districts of New South Wales.

Lactalis Australia warned consumers not to drink the milk because the contamination cannot be detected by taste, smell or sight and can make people sick if consumed.

One type of Coles-brand milk sold at Victorian Coles Express sites and 4 Coles Express stores in southern New South Wales has also been recalled.

The affected products have a use-by date of July 2, 2019:

7-Eleven Lite Milk 2L bottle (use-by date: 2 July 2019)

Multiple milk products have been recalled amid contamination fears.

Lactalis Australia has today recalled eight fresh milk products due to potential contamination with a cleaning solution used for cleaning milk plant equipment.

The hazard affects Coles brands and Pauls brands sold at Coles, Woolworths, IGA and independent stores across Victoria. It also impacts milk sold at Coles stores in Southern New South Wales (Deniliquin, Lavington and Albury). Independent petrol and convenience stores in the Murray, Riverina and Western districts of NSW.

The recall was triggered by concerns they were contaminated by a food grade dairy cleaning solution.

An alert issued tonight by Food Standards Australia New Zealand said the affected milk products may have a yellowish colouring and/or metallic chemical taste.
