WASHINGTON—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Plainview Milk Products Cooperative, a Plainview, Minn., firm, is voluntarily recalling instant nonfat dried milk, whey protein, fruit stabilizers and gums that it has manufactured over the past two years because they might be contaminated with Salmonella.
The company sells these products to other industry customers, including distributors and manufacturers, who may have incorporated them into their own products. None of Plainview’s products were sold directly to the public.
Plainview has stopped production of these products and has notified its customers of the recall. Currently, the Plainview recall is limited to industry customers who received suspect product.
FDA is conducting this investigation in collaboration with USDA, CDC, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, and state and local health departments. FDA investigators are working to track the distribution of the Plainview ingredients to identify additional products that contain the recalled ingredients.
