Ortonville, MI – Cook’s Farm Dairy based in Ortonville, MI, is voluntarily recalling specific lots of ice cream and milk due to issues related to pasteurization. This recall is being done out of an abundance of caution. There are no known illnesses at this time.

The recalled products were distributed to the following retail locations in Southeast Michigan:

  • A Bean To Go in Goodrich, MI 48438
  • Bueches Food World in Ortonville, MI 48462

  • Jim’s Cracker Barrel Grocery and Liquor in Clarkston, MI 48348
  • Meijer in Oxford, MI 48371

The products included in this voluntary recall include:

  • Ice cream lots of 1.5 Qt. and Pint containers – All Flavors
    • Batch #18 which is located by the bar code (pasteurized on 5/21/2024)
    • Batch #24 which is located by the bar code (pasteurized on 7/2/2024)

    • Sell by date of 9/2/2024 (pasteurized on 8/19/2024)

During a routine inspection, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) found improper air temperatures in an ice cream pasteurizing vat and identified inadequate pasteurization record-keeping and chart-recording while processing.

“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.”

Oakland County’s Family Market Days Promote Healthy Eating and Local Farmers

Post Date:07/16/2024 11:59 AM

The Healthy Oakland Partnership (HOP) encourages Oakland County residents to participate in the annual Family Market Day events. Five-dollar coupons to purchase produce from local farmers are available to residents with a State of Michigan Bridge/EBT card or who are enrolled in Oakland County Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

“Family Market Day events demonstrate our dedication to help increase the amount of fresh produce residents purchase, as well as support our local farmers,” said Leigh-Anne Stafford, director of Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services. “These events are a great way to connect residents to fresh and locally grown produce.”

Family Market Days will take place the following days:

  • Thursday, July 18 at the Oak Park Farmers Market (14300 Oak Park Boulevard, Oak Park) from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
  • Saturday, July 20 at Oakland County Farmers Market (2350 Pontiac Lake Road, Waterford) from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Five-dollar coupons for produce are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and must be used during the event. Distribution ends 30 minutes before the market closes, and no registration is necessary. The farmers markets also offer Double Up Food Bucks, which match money spent using a Bridge card/EBT up to $20.

There will be family activities such as face painting, a petting zoo, and prizes. Various resources will also be available on-site.

Family Market days are made possible in part by Trinity Health.

Thank you to Chief Ryan Allen and his amazing team at the Orion Township Fire Department for coming out and surprising our campers both weeks with a visit from the fire truck. The campers were so excited to run around in the spray!
