The Whatcom County Health Department announced Monday that five people were sickened by the the same campylobacter jejuni strain found in raw milk that was recalled last month from Pleasant Valley Dairy.

The dairy pulled that batch of milk from the shelves and has resumed its distribution of raw milk.

The health department said the dairy has changed its testing procedures to reduce the risk of releasing contaminated milk.
