Horizon Organic Lactose Free 2% Milk Recalled for Temperature Control Failure
C & S Wholesale Grocers is recalling Horizon Organic Lactose Free 2% Milk sold at two Target stores in New York because it was not held at appropriate temperatures during transport.
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 explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the rubric, when no illnesses are reported and the hazard is theoretical (temperature abuse without confirmed contamination), the score is capped at 3, but given the limited distribution and lack of reported harm, it aligns with Moderate (2) for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures.
