Reason for recall
Mondelez Global received notification from a supplier, Associated Milk Producers, Inc. ( AMPI ), of a voluntary recall of Whey Powder Sweet Type as a precautionary measure due to the potential presence of Salmonella. The recalled whey powder is used as an ingredient in various Mondelez Global human food products.
Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
