Raw milk produced by Organic Pastures Dairy of Fresno County, with a code date of OCT 24, is the subject of a [statewide recall](https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/egov/Press%5FReleases/Press%5FRelease.asp?PRnum=15-050&ref=foodsafetynews.com) and quarantine order announced by California State Veterinarian Dr. Annette Jones. The quarantine order followed the confirmed detection of *Campylobacter* bacteria in raw whole milk. No illnesses have been reported at this time. Under the recall, Organic Pastures Dairy brand Grade-A raw milk labeled with a code date of OCT 24 is to be pulled immediately from retail shelves, and consumers are strongly urged to dispose of any product remaining in their refrigerators. California Department of Food and Agriculture inspectors found the bacteria as a result of product testing conducted as part of routine inspection and sample collection at the facility. According to the California Department of Public Health, symptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Most people with campylobacteriosis recover completely. Illness usually occurs 2 to 5 days after exposure to *Campylobacter* and lasts about a week. The illness is usually mild, and some people with campylobacteriosis have no symptoms at all. However, in some persons with compromised immune systems, it can cause a serious, life-threatening infection. A small percentage of people may have joint pain and swelling after infection. In addition, a rare disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome that causes weakness and paralysis can occur several weeks after the initial illness.
