A Beaver County dairy that voluntarily ceased production twice so state regulators could determine whether its products were contaminated will resume bottling operations and sales on Thursday.
"Our customers have really supported us through all the things we've been through," said Herb Brunton, spokesman for the family-owned Brunton Dairy in Independence, which has been in operation since 1832.
The dairy voluntarily ceased milk production on July 29. Sixteen people reported symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea after drinking pasteurized milk from the dairy that was packaged in glass bottles, according to the state Department of Health.
The outbreak was traced to the bacteria Yersinia enterocolitica, but inspectors could never determine its source.
