The recalled raw milk involved in the Los Angeles case came from which source?

• A. Raw Farm LLC
• B. Dairyland Farms
• C. Maple Hill Creamery
• D. Green Valley Dairy

Answer: (A)

Tracing the source of a raw-milk recall relies on traceback work that follows lot codes, shipment records, and supplier links to identify where the product came from. In this Los Angeles case, investigators linked the recalled raw milk to Raw Farm LLC, making that farm the source of the contaminated supply. Once the producer is identified, recalls target products from that farm and use distribution data to remove affected lots from the market, helping prevent further illness. This matters because raw milk isn’t pasteurized, so any contamination stays with the product, underscoring why pinpointing the exact source is crucial for public safety. The other farm names aren’t tied to this recall in the investigation.
