Graham’s Family Dairy has issued a Tesco Milk Recall for semi-skimmed milk with a use by date of 31 July 2026. The affected bottles are one-litre, two-litre and single-pint sizes sold in the UK, and customers have been told not to drink them.
Tesco Milk recalled in UK over contamination fears is being handled as a refund recall: shoppers are being asked to return the milk to the store where they bought it. Graham’s Family Dairy said the action is precautionary because a small risk of trace antibiotics may be present.
Food Standards Scotland warning
Food Standards Scotland said the reason for the recall is the presence of veterinary medicines. It said antibiotics in the product may make it unsafe to consume and may pose a health risk to anyone with an allergy to antibiotics including penicillin.
That warning narrows the practical question for shoppers. The concern is not a broad change to the company’s full range, but a specific batch tied to a single use by date and three bottle sizes. Anyone holding one of those bottles should treat the label as the deciding factor, not the brand name alone.
Graham’s Family Dairy recall notice
Graham’s Family Dairy, based in Scotland, said no other products are affected. The company says it is the country’s largest independent dairy company and supplies most of the big supermarket chains across the UK.
The recall covers semi-skimmed milk only, so households with other dairy products from the same company do not need to act on this notice. The immediate next step for affected customers is simple: do not consume the milk and return it for a refund.
31 July 2026 bottles
The date on the bottle is the clearest way to separate the recalled milk from anything else on the shelf or in the fridge. If the use by date reads 31 July 2026 and the pack is one-litre, two-litre or single-pint semi-skimmed milk, it falls within the recall.
The unresolved point is scale. Graham’s Family Dairy has not stated how many bottles were distributed, so the size of the return remains unclear even as the advice to customers stays the same: do not drink it, and take it back for a refund.
