Galliker's Lemon Iced Tea Recalled for Missing Pasteurization Documentation

Galliker Dairy Co. is recalling 2,851 gallon jugs of lemon iced tea because the products were labeled as pasteurized without legal documentation to support the claim.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text indicates the issue is a lack of documentation for a pasteurization claim rather than a confirmed contamination or reported illness, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling/documentation issue.
