In recent weeks, several New Zealand raw milk sellers have been forced to recall their products due to fears they may contain either listeria or campylobacter.
The milk was sold via home deliveries, in one-litre glass bottles, and classified as raw (unpasteurised) drinking milk.

Rules for producing and selling raw drinking milk are set by the Ministry for Primary Industries. Time to tighten up those rules?
