Dozens of Snacks Recalled Nationwide Over Salmonella Risk From April 20 Milk Powder Recall

At least a dozen snack and grocery products were pulled from shelves after milk powder and buttermilk recalled on April 20 were linked to possible salmonella contamination.
California Dairies supplied the powdered dairy ingredient, which was used largely in seasonings across products including Utz and Zapp's chips, trail mixes, popcorn items, cheese curds and frozen pizzas.
FDA notices show the affected items were sold nationwide, raising concern that some may still be in consumers' pantries, refrigerators or freezers.
