Protient, Inc. is recalling approximately 100,000 lbs. of Sweet Dairy Whey (Edible Grade) powder because it may be contaminated with Salmonella. This edible-grade ingredient is often used in various food manufacturing processes and was distributed in 50 lb. paper bags lined with polyethylene. Consumers should check if they have this specific ingredient in their inventory, as Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Salmonella is a pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness. If consumed, it can lead to symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain; in rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and produce more serious arterial infections or arthritis.
