What is recalled
Various meat and poultry products from multiple manufacturers that contain FDA-regulated dairy ingredients (dry milk powder) sourced from a recalled supplier. The full product list, including establishment numbers, distribution states, and product labels, is updated on an ongoing basis at the FSIS website (alert PHA-04302026-01). This alert was last updated May 15, 2026, to reflect additional affected products.
Am I affected
