On June 28, 2009 Plainview Milk Products Cooperative from Plainview, Minnesota announced a voluntary recall of a variety of industry grade products on fears of salmonella contamination. At that time Plainview Milk Products stated that no direct to consumer products were included in the salmonella recall.

Plainview Milk Products Cooperative, Plainview, Minn., is voluntarily recalling instant nonfat dried milk, whey protein, fruit stabilizers, and gums (thickening agents) 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.

In reaction to this early Plainview Milk Products recall Dunkin' Donuts issued a voluntary recall of its hot chocolate and Dunkacinno beverages.

As of July 6, 2009 Plainview Milk Products expanded its salmonella recall to include several direct to consumer products. Drink mix, instant nonfat dry milk, topping and oatmeal recalls have been issued for the following product brands:

About Salmonella Contamination - Symptoms

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weak immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Most healthy people recover from Salmonella infections without treatment. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses, such as arterial infections (infected aneurysms), infection of the lining of the heart, and arthritis.
