Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Horizon Organic ORG Asep Choc Milk 1% 8OZ 12 CT and 18 CT . Tetra Pak recall: Product has the potential to be spoiled

Recall published last month

Product has the potential to be spoiled.

The hazard: Temperature control failure

A break in temperature control is behind this recall. The food may be perfectly sound, and there is no way to tell from the pack which units are.

What the notice says: Product has the potential to be spoiled.

Why it matters: The product went outside its required temperature range in storage or transport. That does not prove bacteria grew in it, but it removes the control that was supposed to stop them.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If you have eaten it, watch for the usual food-poisoning pattern — stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhoea, sometimes fever — and seek care for a high fever, bloody stools, persistent vomiting or signs of dehydration.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Temperature

Horizon Organic Dairy, LLC — A break in temperature control is behind this recall. The food may be perfectly sound, and there is no way to tell from the pack which units are.

  1. Do not eat it, even if it looks and smells normal — that is exactly what the recall anticipates.
  2. Clean the shelf it sat on if any packaging has leaked.
  3. If you refroze it after it thawed, discard it rather than keeping it for cooking later.
  4. Check your own fridge or freezer temperature while you are at it: 40°F or below for the fridge, 0°F for the freezer.

How to get your money back

Food recalls carry a full refund, and in the United States you usually do not need the receipt or the packaging.

  • Take the product, or your photo of the label, to the customer service desk of the store where you bought it. Nearly every national grocer refunds recalled food on the spot.
  • Bought it online? Open the order in your account and use the refund option; marketplace sellers are required to honour a federal recall.
  • If the store refuses, contact the recalling company using the details on this page. The firm, not the shop, carries the cost of a recall.
  • If you have a loyalty card, the retailer can look the purchase up in your history — Kroger, Costco and Walmart all do this routinely.
