The State Milk Board, in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Agriculture and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, announced Friday that Ozark Mountain Creamery of Mountain Grove is voluntarily recalling some of its cream from the marketplace.
Test results received Friday were positive for high residual phosphatase. High levels of residual phosphatase may indicate potentially unpasteurized or improperly pasteurized milk, which can contain harmful pathogens.
The sample was collected June 7 during a randomly scheduled, routine inspection and tested in the St. Louis County Health Department Laboratory.
The 90 gallons of recalled cream is packaged in one-half gallon, glass bottles and marked with the code “6/28.” An additional 57 gallons of cream packaged in one-half gallon, glass bottles and marked with the code “7/05” is being voluntarily withdrawn pending further testing.
No other dairy products from Ozark Mountain Creamery are involved at this time.
The cream may have been sold in the following locations:
• Farmhand Supply in Bernie, Mo.
• Foods For Health in Rolla, Mo.
• Sidney St. Café (restaurant) in St. Louis
