New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Commissioner Richard A. Ball is warning consumers in Oneida County and the surrounding area not to consume unpasteurized raw milk from the Winters Grass Farm due to possible Listeria contamination. The Winters Grass Farm is located at 9104 Butler Road, Sauquoit. This recall comes on the heels of the deadly Vulto Creamery Listeria outbreak in Walton, NY.
A sample of the milk collected by an inspector from the department was discovered to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. On March 16, 2017, the producer was notified of a preliminary positive test result. No illnesses are known at this time by the Department to be associated with this product.
