These products were packed in approximately 8 oz., 2.5 lb., 5 lb., and 40 lb. units and were distributed at: Peacock Hill Dairy in Richmond County; Miller’s in Farmville; Pine View Grocery in Farmville; Spring Hollow Grocery in Buckingham County; Country Corner Dairy in Charlotte County; Cedar Grove Auction in Charlotte County; Hollering Hill Auction in Halifax County; and Central Virginia Produce Auction in Buckingham County.

Consumers who have purchased Country Corner Dairy cheeses or skyr with the above batch/date stamp may return the products to the place of purchase for a product exchange or refund.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall. Consumers should not consume these products, even if the product does not look or smell spoiled.
