Consumers Advised to Discard Pasteurized Ice Cream Containing Raw Milk

According to a press release obtained by Food Poisoning Bulletin, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture issued an advisory about ice cream sold at Dutch Valley Bakery BBQ in Spring Mills, Centre County.

The ice cream was produced by Spring Bank Acres of Rebersburg in Centre County. The advisory states, “Spring Bank Acres produced an ice cream mix to which raw milk was added after pasteurization, potentiallly presenting a food safety risk. The product was representated as pasteurized ice cream and sold as ‘homemade’ by Dutch Valley Bakery BBQ.”

Samantha Krepps of the Ag Department told us that “no illnesses were reported” linked to this product. Dutch Valley Bakery BBQ sold the ice cream as-in and made it into milkshakes. While it’s legal to sell raw milk with a permit in Pennsylvania, the sale of raw milk ice cream is illegal.

Raw milk can contain pathogens including Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, that can sicken even healthy people. Those in high risk groups, such as the very young, the elderly, pregnant women, anyone with a compromised immune system, and anyone with a chronic disease, can become seriously ill from these bacteria.

If anyone has consumed this product and experienced the symptoms of food poisoning, which can include vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache, body aches, and stomach cramps, please call the Pennsylvania Department of Health at 1-877-724-3258.
