Summary

FDA Recall

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall on May 5 of a dry-milk powder linked to salmonella.
California Dairies had previously recalled the same powder for salmonella risk.
The Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) warned that pizzas at Aldi and Walmart contain the powder.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports salmonella causes 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths, while illnesses cause 9.9 million cases and over 53,000 hospitalizations.

History

Historical Context

In 1993, undercooked Jack in the Box hamburgers caused an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak that killed four children and sickened nearly 700, prompting the USDA to adopt mandatory HACCP inspections for meat processors. The FDA and CDC now recall Target’s Good & Gather snack mixes and California Dairies dry-milk powder after salmonella findings, echoing the regulatory response that began in 1993.
