The FDA has issued a recall for thousands of cases of milk across several states due to the potential cause of “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”
Over 3,500 cases of Horizon Organic Chocolate Organic Lowfat Milk have been recalled because of a packaging issue, with the government agency stating that the packaging integrity of the carton is compromised, reports Allrecipes. Though the product was initially recalled by the company on March 11, the FDA issued a Class II recall on May 5, stating that consumption of the recalled product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”

The formula was recalled due to the presence of cereulide, a heat-stable toxin produced by some strains of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. Preparing the formula with hot water does not eliminate it, a2 Milk Company said in a statement.
The batch numbers and expiration dates of the a2 milk-based powder with iron, which can be found on the bottom of the 31.7-ounce tin, are:
- 2210269454, expiration date: 7/15/2026
