Hundreds of gallons of milk sold at grocery stores in Chicago suburbs recalled due to ‘cleaning agent’
Hundreds of gallons of milk are being recalled from Woodman’s Markets grocery stores across Illinois and Wisconsin after it was found that the cartons may be contaminated with “food-grade cleaning agents,” which could lead to illnesses if consumed.
The recall was initiated Nov. 25 by Prairie Farms of Edwardsville, a release from the Food and Drug Administration announced, and applies to select Prairie Farms Gallon Fat Free Milk products at its Dubuque, Iowa facility. Before the issue was discovered, approximately 320 gallons of the milk were distributed to 18 Woodman’s stores in Illinois and Wisconsin, including many in the Chicago suburbs and surrounding areas, the release said.
Only a specific segment of the milk’s production was impacted, the release said. The recall only applies to gallons of fat free Prairie Farms milk with a code date of Dec. 8, 2025, UPS code of 7273023117 and a PLT19-145 plant code produced during a time window of 17:51 to 21:23, the FDA said.
Prarie Farms was first made aware of the quality control issue Nov. 24. Those who purchased the product with the above code dates should not consume it, the release said. Customers should dispose of it or return it to the store for a refund.
“All remaining affected product has been removed from store shelves,” the release added. NBC Chicago reached out to Prairie Farms for more details.
According to the release, the product was distributed to the following Woodman’s Markets grocery stores:

Carpentersville
Lakemoor
North Aurora
Rockford
Wisconsin
Appleton
Beloit
Green Bay
