Retailer Meijer Inc. announced on Thursday it was recalling one type of its Meijer Brand Instant Nonfat Dry Milk. The product was sold in Meijer stores in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky.

Food distributors across the country announced on Thursday they are recalling nonfat dry milk, cocoa and other products that are linked to a possible salmonella contamination at a Plainview, Minn., milk processor.

Meijer recall specifics:

Information

Product :Meijer Instant Milk 10-quart packets, 32 ounces.
Only two Sell-By dates are recalled: FEB0911S and FEB1011S.
UPCs: 0-41250-96746-0.
Manufacturer: Plainview Milk Products Cooperative.

Return the product to the store for a full refund or call (800) 543-3704.

The Food and Drug Administration said late last month that Plainview Milk Products Cooperative was recalling instant nonfat dried milk, whey protein, fruit stabilizers and food thickening agents that it made over the past two years because they might be contaminated with salmonella.

Salmonella can cause serious infections, especially in children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. FDA spokeswoman Stephanie Kwisnek said on Thursday "there are no illnesses that we are aware of" and the agency is tracking distribution of the products.

The FDA has said none of Plainview's products were sold directly to the public. But the company sold their products to other distributors, who distributed them further, and also to manufacturers, who may have used them in their products, Kwisnek said.
