"Dry Milk Recall: 92,000+ Pounds Recalled in 2 States"

Warning on Dry Milk Recall

When it comes to stocking up your pantry with non-perishable items, having a supply of long shelf-life products is essential. While fresh ingredients are ideal for cooking, emergencies like power outages can lead to food spoilage in your fridge. Alongside staple items like canned beans and rice, dry milk can be a versatile addition to your pantry, serving as a coffee creamer or a thickening agent for various recipes. However, a recent warning has been issued regarding dry milk from a well-known dairy brand.

Recall Details

Although the recall was initially initiated on May 19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published a report outlining an issue related to 92,594 pounds of nonfat dry milk from Crystal Creamery Inc. This recall impacts a total of 1,680 bags of dry milk. The specific reason for the delayed report release this week has not been disclosed by the authorities.

Crystal Creamery Inc., a company headquartered in Modesto, California, is recognized as the state's "oldest dairy" according to its official website. The company is voluntarily recalling its dry milk products due to potential contamination with Salmonella, as confirmed by the FDA.

The Cleveland Clinic describes Salmonella as an infection caused by Salmonella bacteria, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach pains. While the infection typically resolves on its own within a few days in healthy individuals, certain groups may experience severe complications.

According to the FDA report, the affected product, NON FAT DRY MILK, has the following specifications:

• Product description: LOW HEAT SPRAY PROCESS GRADE A NON FAT DRY MILK MADE FROM PASTEURIZED MILK, PRODUCT OF U.S.A.
• Net weight: 25.00 kilograms (kg)
• Lot: 21APR25
• Internal Item Number: 79065
• Product quantity: 92,594 lbs (1,680 bags - 25kg/bag)

Product Distribution

The FDA has reported that the recalled dry milk products were distributed to California and Texas. However, specific retail locations where the product was sold have not been disclosed in the FDA report. Crystal Creamery's dry milk products are typically available in select small retailers, with the 'Nonfat Dry Milk Lo Heat' product primarily marketed in bulk for commercial and production purposes.
