“As soon as MDARD brought these issues to our attention, we fixed the problems immediately. We’re recalling these limited product lots out of an abundance of caution,” said Quinton Cook. “It’s important to note that we have received no reports of issues or defect complaints related to these products. Our family has been committed to quality in our dairy products for four generations.”
