Whenever you want to think about how complicated our food supply chains are, just look at all of the items that end up recalled across the country when one basic ingredient is potentially contaminated and recalled. Milk powder from one dairy co-op in Virginia has caused product recalls at stores ranging from Aldi to William-Sonoma.
Valley Milk products didn’t just recall a bunch of milk: U.S. marshals came to seize millions of pounds of milk powder due to records showing Salmonella in the plant, including on fixtures after they had theoretically been cleaned.
Previous installations of products from the Great Powdered Milk Recall of 2016 include microwaveable macaroni and cheese cups, pancake and waffle mixes, and batches of fruit cremes, potato chips, and pancake mixes.
