Why it happened, in plain English
The filed reason: “Potential Salmonella contamination.” The record does not say what raised the concern. The product is a 50 lb kraft bag with a poly liner, an ingredient format, and the quantity is 99 bags, about 4,950 lbs, sent to FL, IL and MD. The record does not name the consignees or say what they made with it.
In general terms, a butter-flavored dairy powder is used in bakery mixes, popcorn seasoning, snack coatings and sauces. It carries the same risk profile as any dry dairy powder: no kill step after drying, long survival of Salmonella in the powder, and use in finished products that often get no further cook. The consignees, whoever they are, had to trace 99 bags into their own lots. The small quantity makes this manageable, and the record lists the recall as terminated.
Who else should care
Bakery mix makers, popcorn and snack seasoning blenders, and sauce manufacturers that buy butter powders and dairy flavor bases in 50 lb bags. A small lot from a regional ingredient maker gets less attention than a million-pound recall, but one 50 lb bag can go into a lot of finished product.
Check: whether your receiving records tie each bag of dairy powder to a supplier lot number, so that a 99-bag recall can be matched to your inventory in minutes rather than a warehouse search.
