The list of snack foods, frozen pizzas, and other food products that have been linked to a powdered milk recall keeps getting longer. Two federal agencies have identified approximately two dozen products that used the recalled dairy products and are working to see if there are any other potentially contaminated products out there.

The backstory:

In April, the Food and Drug Administration announced recalls on powdered milk and powdered buttermilk that were sold in bulk by California Dairies, Inc., to other wholesale distributors and manufacturers and began the process of finding the foods made with the potentially contaminated products. 

Because some of the downstream products contained meat, poultry, or eggs, those food items fell under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is compiling its own list.

The Full List

What you can do:

The list below compiles all the products identified by the two federal agencies as of May 20, 2026. 

The USDA has also released images of the labels for the foods, which can be found in the gallery. 

Why you should care:

Eating food that has been contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, a common bacteria-based foodborne illness. Most infected people will experience fever, diarrhea, or abdominal pains within six hours to six days after eating the foods. The illness can last up to a week. Even though it can cause some hospitalizations, most people recover without treatment. 

What's next:

Health officials are still working to identify other potential items made with the recalled milk products and say they will update their lists as necessary.
