Nationwide Recall Expanded for Potato Chips, Popcorn Due to Salmonella Risk
A nationwide recall of snack products and seasoning mixes has been expanded after a wholesale distributor of bulk powdered milk and buttermilk issued a voluntary recall due to potential Salmonella contamination.
California Dairies Inc. issued a recall to several wholesale distributors and manufacturers on April 20, with the Food and Drug Administration now working to determine if additional customer recalls are necessary. The first products recalled were Ghirardelli powdered beverage mixes on April 28, including frappes and hot cocoa in bulk packaging.
