Horizon Organic Dairy is voluntarily recalling about 53,000 cases of shelf-stable 1% chocolate milk because of a packaging flaw that may cause the products to spoil prematurely. The recall involves 12-count and 18-count packs of the affected items.
According to the FDA notice cited by outlets, the company warns that the milk could develop unpleasant changes, including an off taste and odor, before the product’s normal shelf life. The recall is designed to address the risk linked to the packaging defect.
Quartz and The Hill both report the same core details: the recall size (more than 53,000 cases), the product type (shelf-stable 1% chocolate milk), and the specific pack sizes affected (12- and 18-count). The outlets differ mainly in emphasis, with one focusing on the potential for premature spoilage and the other highlighting the consumer-experienced sensory changes the FDA notes could occur.
