Milk, lemonade, eggnog and custard recalled. There might be a ‘strong sanitizer odor’

Homestead Creamery recalled several glass bottled products, including some sold at The Fresh Market, after “it was discovered that product smelled like cleaning agent.”

That’s from the Homestead-written, FDA-posted recall notice that admits to a “suspected issue with the bottle sanitizing process” and the recalled milk, lemonade, cream, custard and eggnog “may have a strong sanitizer odor which may affect the taste and quality of the product.”

Here’s what’s been recalled:
