H-E-B announced Friday that it has issued a voluntary recall for certain bakery products made with Valley Milk Products LLC’s High Heat Nonfat Dry Milk Powder.
As part of a larger recall affecting several retailers, Valley Milk Products has recalled the affected product, which was supplied to H-E-B for use in bakery products.
The product is being removed because there is potential it could be contaminated with Salmonella, an issue discovered through routine Food and Drug Administration sampling.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (e.g., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
There have been no reports of illness to date in connection with bakery items purchased from H-E-B stores or items made with product supplied by Dawn Food Products, Inc. All product has been removed from stores.
The recall affects product sold in H-E-B and Mi Tienda in-store bakeries in Texas and Mexico, including the following:
