Mechanical Failure in Rockford Leads To Chocolate Milk Recall
If you have chocolate milk in your refrigerator you might want to take a look at the UPC, date, and other information on the jug. This comes at an unfortunate time as families load up on chocolate milk while some children are e-learning.
There has been a "limited voluntary" recall of 1% and and "Premium Flavored" Prairie Farms chocolate milk, a total of 1,152 units.
