Do NOT Consume: 3.8 Million Protein Drinks Recalled Due to Possible Spoilage
The Kane County Health Department is advising that Bolthouse Farms, headquartered in California’s San Joaquin Valley, has announced that it is voluntarily recalling a selection of protein drinks due to possible spoilage that may cause the beverages to appear lumpy, taste unpleasant and have an off odor.
These products should not be consumed. The issue was identified after the company received consumer complaints, including reports of illness, none of which were reported in Kane County.
The recall includes Protein PLUS shakes with “best by” dates between June 20 to Sept. 18, 2016. The best-by dates are printed on the cap and label at the neck of the bottle and the UPC appears on the bar code.
The recall affects 3.8 million bottles that have been distributed nationally in the United States.
Bolthouse Farms is advising people not to drink these beverages and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information call 1-866-535-3774 between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. PST, Monday to Friday or visit Facebook/BolthouseFarms.
