ALDI recalls Farmdale long-life milk in Victoria and South Australia over spoilage

ALDI shoppers in Victoria and South Australia are being asked to check their cupboards for a recalled batch of Farmdale Full Cream Long Life Milk. The recall covers the 1L carton marked Best Before 05JUN27, according to Food Standards Australia New Zealand.

The notice, published on 23 October 2026, says ALDI Stores is recalling the product because of microbial contamination resulting in spoilage. It was available at ALDI stores and online in Victoria and South Australia.

Check the product and date together

The date marking is part of the identification of the recalled product. Shoppers should match both the product name and the printed date rather than assume every Farmdale milk carton is affected.

Do not consume the recalled milk

FSANZ says spoiled food products may cause illness or injury if consumed. Its instruction for this recall is not to consume the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The notice describes the problem as microbial contamination and spoilage. It does not identify a particular organism or report an illness count, so those details should not be inferred from the recall.

The best-before date being in the future does not override the stop-consumption instruction for this specific product. The warning applies to cartons already bought as well as stock shoppers may still have stored at home.

Refunds and further information

Consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice, the notice says. ALDI’s food recall hotline is 1800 709 993 for further information.

The official notice includes a product photograph to help shoppers identify the blue and white carton. The distribution described is Victoria and South Australia, including online sales; the notice does not announce a recall of all ALDI milk products across Australia.
