Prairie Farms pulled around 320 gallons of fat-free milk from Woodman's stores after some food-grade cleaning solution got mixed into the product at their Iowa plant. The contaminated batch has a specific code date and plant number printed on the carton, and anyone who grabbed one should toss it or bring it back for a refund instead of drinking it.
The company caught the contamination themselves before anyone reported getting sick, and they shut down the affected run pretty fast. They have not said what chemical ended up in the milk, but even food-safe cleaning agents are not meant to be consumed directly.
If you live in Illinois or Wisconsin and bought fat-free milk recently, check your carton against the recall info and get rid of it if it matches.
