HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is warning consumers to immediately throw out all Conoco View Dairy raw milk products sold in Cumberland, Dauphin, Juniata, Perry, Snyder and York Counties.
The Department ran tests after 11 reports of campylobacteriosis illnesses in December and January and confirmed Campylobacter contamination in the dairy's products.
While the source of the bacteria is clear, every specific production date could not be pinpointed, according to the Department of Agriculture. All products, including those in consumers' freezers, should be thrown away.
Conoco View Dairy raw milk was sold in plastic pints, quarts, and gallons, as well as glass quarts. Products were sold at the dairy’s retail outlet at 410 Clarks Run Road in Blain, Perry County and the retail locations below:
Cumberland County
Maple Lane Farm, Carlisle
Spring Garden Greenhouse Carlisle
Juniata County
Pallet Grocery, McAlisterville
Perry County
Blain Market, Blain
Leids Market, Loysville

Whispering Pines Fruit Farm, Mount Pleasant Mills
York County

The dairy also delivers its products directly to homes in Dauphin, Perry, and Juniata County and at drop-off points in Harrisburg, Carlisle, Enola, and Mechanicsburg.
People with Campylobacter infections usually have diarrhea which is often bloody, fever, and stomach cramps, and may have nausea and vomiting. Symptoms usually start two to five days after infection and last about one week. Anyone who consumed the milk should consult their physicians if they become ill.
