“This morning we investigated a possible contamination of milk today at our Early Childhood Development Center," the school said in a statement.
"It was determined that the substance found in the cartons is a non-toxic consumable sanitizer that runs through the vendor machines prior to milk.
"Unfortunately, many cartons were filled with the sanitizer, sealed, and then shipped out with the milk."
ECDC officials said they've pulled all the milk and will not be served until the investigation is completed.
