Pa. dairy to bottle milk after bacteria shutdown

WEST ALIQUIPPA, Pa. - February 29, 2012

The 180-year-old Brunton Dairy in Beaver County voluntarily stopped bottling milk from July 30 to Oct. 1 after state health and agriculture officials found the bacteria. The dairy began bottling and selling milk again, only to stop producing milk Oct. 25. State agriculture officials now say a bacteria test that prompted the second shutdown was the result of a laboratory error.

Two people who claimed to be sickened have sued the dairy.

Herb Brunton, a partner in the dairy, says it's too soon to say when the dairy may resume home deliveries to 1,000 customers or sales through 25 retail outlets.
