California Dairies Inc. has initiated a Class I recall for Low Heat Non-Fat Dried Milk Powder packaged in 25 kg paper bags due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall involves products packed under five specific labels, including Off Grade and Grade A rBST-free variants.
This recall affects California Dairies Inc., commercial entities utilizing bulk non-fat dried milk powder in food production, and quality/compliance departments responsible for ingredient safety and supplier oversight.
A Class I designation indicates the FDA's assessment that exposure to the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. For regulatory professionals, this suggests a critical failure in pathogen control or environmental monitoring at the production site. The broad range of affected labels (from Off Grade to Grade A) may indicate a systemic contamination issue within the drying or packaging environment.
Regulatory and QA teams should immediately verify if any lots of 25 kg non-fat dried milk powder from this facility are in their inventory. Impacted products must be quarantined, and supply chain records should be reviewed to identify downstream distribution or usage in finished goods.
