Recall Advisory: Salmonella
March 8, 2010
Several companies have recalled a variety of products containing a common sourced ingredient, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, which was incorporated into their products. These products are both of institutional size as well as consumer size, which could be in your units.
Out of an abundance of caution, below please find a list of companies that are recalling their products due to the inclusion of the potentially contaminated Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein which was used in an ingredient in their products. They are:

I would ask you, that if you have any of these products in your units, to click on the URL for the appropriate FDA Recall and see If any of the products that you may have are included in the Recall Announcement. I anticipate, since Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein is a very common ingredient, that the list of firms will increase and we will update this list as appropriate.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate contacting us any time.
