Urgent warning issued as milk pulled from shelves due to deadly bacteria
Raw milk is unpasteurised and unfiltered, and is popular due to its creamy taste and thickness. However, unlike pasteurised milk, it hasn't been heat-treated to kill off bacteria
An urgent recall notice has been issued as a popular milk brand could make people seriously ill. The Food Standards Agency issued the notice on Wednesday, and it covers milk from Kenneth Henna's Raw Jersey Milk in Northern Ireland.
Raw milk is unpasteurised and unfiltered, and is popular due to its creamy taste and thickness. However, unlike pasteurised milk, it hasn't been heat-treated to kill off bacteria.
According to the recall notice, the two-litre dairy product could be contaminated with Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC). Consuming this bacteria can make people very sick, with symptoms including abdominal cramps, watery and/or bloody diarrhoea, a fever, and vomiting.
However, some people are at risk of more severe health problems, potentially causing haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal in some cases.
STEC infection is more likely to occur in vulnerable groups, such as the young and those with weakened immune systems.
The recall notice affects all "Ken's Raw Jersey Milk" products, including all batch codes and use-by dates. Even though the recall is a "precautionary" notice, the Food Standards Agency has urged anyone who has bought the product not to consume it. Instead, they should dispose of it or return it to their place of purchase.
The farm shop has displayed point-of-sale notices explaining the recall to customers who may have purchased the affected milk. For further information on the recall notice, you can contact Kenneth Hanna's Farm Shop on 07710203082.

What are recall notices?
Products can be recalled for a range of different reasons including safety – if a product displays risks for the customer – or quality – when the product isn't working as it should be.
The Food Standards Agency is in charge of issuing alerts when a food product has a problem. The product can either be "withdrawn," which means it is taken off the shelves, or "recalled," which means customers are asked to return it.
Food products need to be recalled if they are found to have been contaminated with pathogens that could cause food poisoning or if plastic or metal has been found in them due to manufacturing faults.
Food items also need to be recalled if any allergen information is missing or incorrect. The Office for Product Safety and Standards is responsible for everything else which does not fall into food, medicines, and vehicles.

A&E 'should have been warned' by paramedics about seriously ill 21-year-old with sepsis
A&E 'should have been warned' by paramedics about seriously ill 21-year-old with sepsis .'Caring' Bethan Amy James was admitted to hospital by ambulance and died the next day Bethan James was just 21 when she died Paramedics 'should have' alerted A&E staff that the seriously ill daughter of a former cricket star was on her way to hospital, an inquest has heard. 'Caring' and 'beautiful' Bethan Amy James was admitted to hospital on February 8, 2020 and died the next day. An ongoing inquest into her death, which began on Tuesday, heard that her death was caused by a combination of sepsis, pneumonia and Crohn's disease. Budding journalist Bethan was the daughter of former Glamorgan and England cricketer Steve James. A highly respected sports journalist himself, Mr James was away covering Wales' Six Nations match in Ireland when his daughter was taken seriously ill. Heartbreakingly due to weather delays he was unable to get home and see her before she died. In the lead up to Bethan's death, her family say she was 'dismissed' by multiple medics and that 'her life could have been saved'. During the second day of Bethan's inquest on Wednesday it was heard how there was an apparent 'insufficient urgency' when paramedics arrived at Bethan's home in St Mellons, Cardiff, that evening. Giving evidence, paramedic Laura Wilson accepted that she should have 'pre-alerted' the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff of Bethan's arrival. However, she did not. Article continues below She said her experience with Bethan has informed her practice as a paramedic as well as her understanding of sepsis. Speaking to coroner Patricia Morgan, Ms Wilson said: 'It was a long time ago. My practice is completely different now than it was then. 'At the time, on reflection, I should have pre-alerted and taken that phone call to the hospital. I was aware Bethan was very poorly and we needed to get her to hospital.' She added that at the time she wasn't fully aware of the 'nature of decline' associated with sepsis. Emergency medical technician Aaron Hook - who drove the ambulance and accompanied Ms Wilson - agreed that a pre-alert 'definitely' should have happened. The inquest heard evidence that blue lights were not activated during the journey from Bethan's home to the hospital. Ms Wilson accepted this was her decision but said activating the lights may not have been appropriate. 'The purpose is to make progress to [the destination] and alert other road users of your presence,' she told the inquest. 'Their use wouldn't have achieved [this] any quicker and my thought process was using sirens and lights would have only served to add to Bethan's stress.' She noted that Bethan looked 'very poorly' and that she was 'very upset and distressed'. Bethan was the daughter of Glamorgan and England cricket star Steve James The inquest heard how the ambulance was on the scene for 29 minutes in total, which Ms Wilson said was 'not unreasonable'. Although she did not pre-alert the hospital she told the inquest that the University Hospital of Wales is 'prompt' and 'the best' in the area at offloading patients from ambulances. She estimated that it took around five or 10 minutes for Bethan to get into hospital, adding there was 'no major delay'. However the inquest heard further evidence that Mr Hook rushed into the hospital to find a bed for Bethan in resus. It was heard that the nurse in charge of resus that day, Carys Williams, told Mr Hook that the ward was at full capacity, but that she was aware of a 'buffer bed' - which is used when no beds are available - in the nearby 'majors' department. It is understood that resus is the highest-intensity department at a hospital where those with life-threatening conditions are treated, whereas majors is a step down from this; where patients requiring close observation and treatment are seen. It was heard how Bethan was taken to the buffer bed at the majors department when she first entered the hospital shortly after 7.45pm. She later went down to resus at 9.15pm, before she fell into cardiac arrest at around 9.35pm, it was previously heard. Ms Williams said if staff had been pre-alerted it would have 'rung alarm bells' and triggered a discussion with the consultant. It may have given medics time to select and transfer a current resus patient to the majors buffer bed, she explained. Ms Williams told the inquest how when Mr Hook spoke to her on Bethan's arrival she only recalls him describing Bethan as 'unwell'. When probed by Welsh Ambulance Service Trust Advocate Jack Scott on why she didn't ask Mr Hook for more information, she reiterated that she had no capacity and it could have delayed matters at that point to take a medical history. The family's advocate, Richard Booth, put to Ms Williams an FOI obtained by the family detailing how many beds were available in resus that day, which suggested a bed may have been available. Ms Williams reiterated that she was at full capacity for adults and that the availability likely referred to a free paediatric bay, adding: 'I don't recall any children coming in on that day.' Mr Booth further asked Ms Williams to confirm if she later referred to Bethan's deceased body as 'it'. Ms Williams said she did not and would not have said this. The inquest heard evidence from consultant Bethan Morgan who took charge of Bethan's care less than an hour before she died. Shortly before she passed it was heard how Bethan suffered a cardiac arrest. Mr Booth asked Dr Morgan if she agreed that the cardiac arrest could have been prevented if Bethan had been promptly transferred to the hospital and arrived at resus. In response she said: 'My opinion is I think Bethan would have died of this illness regardless.' She added that it was difficult to say for definite since she had not seen Bethan at the time paramedics first attended her home. She described Bethan's deterioration as 'atypical'. Mr Booth acknowledged that medics at the time were 'trying to piece together' what was causing Bethan's presentation that day, and that it was not known that the cause of Bethan's sepsis was 'viral'. Dr Morgan said: 'I think we assumed it was bacterial at the time of seeing her.' During the first day of the inquest on Tuesday it was heard how Bethan was 'dismissed' by a number of medics in the weeks that led up to her death. Speaking on Tuesday her heartbroken mother Jane James described Bethan as a 'caring' and 'beautiful' person who always put others before herself. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2019 at the age of 20, Bethan documented her experience of the condition through a vlog and had hopes of becoming a journalist. Article continues below Mrs James said: 'As a person she never moaned, she never made a fuss. She was very caring. She was just beautiful. 'She put people before herself. She was more interested in other people and their stories and I think that's why she would have made a brilliant journalist.' The inquest continues

Kylie Jenner reveals details of her boob job - here's what no one's talking abou
If we all sit still, breathe evenly, and act like Kylie Jenner casually revealing her boob job specs in a TikTok comment isn't a cultural earthquake, maybe she'll finally disclose what ancient Sumerian magic gave her those lips. Or was it just six lip liners and the right lighting? Maybe one day she'll tell us. In a plot twist worthy of endless cultural discourse (you're in the right place), Kylie Jenner, 27-year-old lip kit queen and reality TV shapeshifter, decided to reveal the exact specs of her breast implants. Not on a talk show. Not in Vogue. But in the comments section of a TikTok…like a true Gen Zer. On June 2, British YouTuber Rachel Leary joined legions of fans who have called for Kylie to get specific about how she got her enviable rack – but this time, Kylie actually answered. 'Girl, please can you tell us what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?' Leary said in the video. 'To me, you've got what I am looking for to have done in terms of a boob job. It's the most perfect, natural looking boob job ever. They're still big, but whatever way you had the implants, if they are implants, or if you had fat transfer, to me it is perfection. That is what I aspire mine to look like.' The next day, Kylie commented on the post from her verified account: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.' This is, of course, a major shift from her earlier stance, in which she claimed her only enhancement was filler – and even that took a long time for her to admit. First, in 2014, when asked about her obviously enlarged lips, she told E!: 'In pictures, I put them out a lot. I think big lips are awesome. I love overlining my lips,' implying that lip liner explained her pout. Even as recently as 2023, Kylie said on The Kardashians: 'One of the biggest misconceptions is that I was an insecure child and got a bunch of surgery, which is false. I've only gotten fillers.' To be fair, Kylie did later correct this, telling W Magazine later that year she had a boob job before giving birth to Stormi, her daughter and future bestselling tell-all memoirist (hopefully). She reflected: 'I got my breasts done before Stormi, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20. Like, they were still healing.' She continued: 'I had beautiful breasts… and I just wish I never got them done.' Naturally, the internet collapsed under the weight of Kylie's new TikTok admission. @YSLONIKA posted, 'Kylie Jenner casually sharing her breast implant details with this girl… she's so REAL.' Meanwhile, @yasscorset screamed the collective betrayal of a generation: 'SHE SWORE IT WAS THAT DAMN VICTORIA'S SECRET BRA.' And here we arrive at the central question: is this feminism? Should we celebrate Kylie's admission? Or is it just late-stage influencer capitalism with a silicone twist? Transparency? Check. Body autonomy? Check. Reparations for the psychological damage inflicted on Gen Z girls who thought a push-up bra could defy gravity and physics? Pending. On one hand, Kylie sharing the details – unprompted, no less – is a genuinely helpful gesture to her fans who may have compared their own bodies to Kylie's for years and found their non-surgical breasts wanting. She gave specifics. She named a surgeon. She added exclamation marks , which is basically Gen Z for 'I care about you.' In a world of euphemisms like 'refreshed,' 'sculpted,' 'just water and sleep!' (we're looking at you Lindsay Lohan), her bluntness feels weirdly radical. There's something to be said for the power of a woman openly discussing plastic surgery, demystifying the pressure to be 'naturally' flawless. But then… the years of denial . The fillers she didn't have. The bras that lied. The immaculate lips supposedly built from nothing but elbow grease and MAC Spice. That's not empowerment; that's gaslighting with good lighting. As @JasmeenD pointed out: 'It took her 10 years for her to be a girl's girl BTW!!!! Now we wait another 10 years for her to tell us her BBL doctor.' In the end, Kylie's revelation is both too little, too late and weirdly refreshing. It's like an apology from your toxic 2016 boyfriend who swore he didn't know how Tinder got on his phone – you knew all along, you're still mad, but at least you have a little closure. No matter how often plastic surgery is repackaged as 'self-care' or bodily autonomy, the truth remains: invasive and often dangerous procedures that women undergo to meet unrealistic, male-gaze-driven beauty standards are as tragic as, deep down, we all know they are. The only thing worse? Lying about cosmetic procedures so women feel worse about themselves for not naturally living up to those beauty standards. None of that is to say that you can really blame Kylie for her reticence to come clean. She grew up in the public eye under constant media scrutiny for her appearance in a family known for their love of beauty enhancements. Even more so, Kylie doesn't actually owe us anything; her body belongs to her, and she has every right to do whatever she wants with it without issuing a press release. More Trending However, she's also in the public eye in a significant way and has been a major influence on countless young girls and their perceptions of beauty. So, to the extent that Kylie's new willingness to share details signals personal growth – and an admission that even she can't naturally meet the impossible standards placed on women – it's something to celebrate. But is she a feminist icon? Maybe not. Still, in this increasingly absurd cultural landscape of 12-year-olds using retinol and women risking their lives getting dodgy BBLs in foreign countries, Kylie's transparency is a bittersweet, backwards kind of progress.
