Expanded Recall Alert

Last week it was reported that Dunkin Donuts has pulled both their hot chocolate and Dunkaccino products from the menu due to possible salmonella contamination from one of its suppliers, Plainview Milk Products Cooperative of Plainview, Minnesota. This week, the recall has widened to dozens of companies that were supplied milk-related products.

The FDA has reported that no actual illnesses have been reported from contamination of products from Plainview Milk Products, which only sells to food manufacturers and distributors, but the potential is there and the recalls will be expanding in the weeks to come. The list of recalled items include nonfat dried milk, whey protein powders, food thickening agents and fruit stabilizers. Caught in the crossfire are such popular products as Malt-O-Meal's Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal packets, Meijer Brand Instant Non-Fat Dried Milk, and Land O Lakes International Drinking Cocoa "Madagascar Vanilla."

Here is a basic list of items being recalled. The FDA will be updating this list on a regular basis. To check for new items added to the list, as well as complete lot numbers and product sizes
