Milk sold at IGA and independent retailers recalled over E. coli contamination in SA

Key points

• Milk sold at independent retailers, including IGA stores, has been urgently recalled in South Australia. The Tweedvale Dairies reduced fat milk batch is contaminated with E. coli. Affected 1 litre and 2 litre bottles carry a use by date of 21/10/2026.
• Food Standards Australia says consumers should not eat the product. Customers can return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
• Anyone concerned about their health should seek medical advice. Symptoms of E. coli infection commonly include watery diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and mild fever, usually starting one to 10 days after exposure.
