Barista Oat Milk recall

Oat Milk Gone Rogue: Is Your Morning Brew Safe?

Attention Kiwis: A recall for All Good's Barista Oat Milk! Stay informed to keep your morning cuppa safe.

In a surprising turn of events, coffee enthusiasts across New Zealand are being urged to check their pantry for All Good brand Barista Oat Milk (1 Litre). This recall comes as a precautionary measure due to potential contamination with Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause foodborne illness. If you're among those who have been enjoying this oat milk in your flat whites or lattes, it’s time to double-check your stash!

Bacillus cereus is a cunning little microbe that can sometimes sneak into food products, especially those that are less processed, like oat milk. It thrives in warm, moist environments and can lead to gastrointestinal distress—definitely not the kind of kick you want with your caffeine! All Good is urging anyone who has purchased this specific product to return it to their place of purchase for a full refund, offering some peace of mind amidst the milky madness.

For those wondering how a simple carton can cause such a ruckus, it’s important to note how essential it is for manufacturers to adhere to strict food safety standards. Quality control is key, and this recall serves as a reminder that vigilance is everyone's responsibility—from the producers in the supply chain all the way to the consumers sipping their coffee.

So, what can you do if you've already mixed this oat milk into your favorite brew? First, don’t panic! Just check if your carton is part of the affected lot and if it is, toss it away or take it back. In the meantime, maybe give almond milk a try – or perhaps go old school with whole milk while waiting for your oat milk situation to settle.
