OK Kids- Here we go again- Just the beginning of lots of products that have NONFAT DRY MILK and WHEY PROTEIN in them.
Please check your labels...
...(This is probably why the gravy mixes were recalled a few days ago).

***** The recall was initiated when Lewis Laboratories was notified by its supplier, that the product contained an ingredient supplied by Plainview Milk Products Cooperative, which has issued a voluntary recall on the non-fat dried milk and whey protein because of the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
