SKS Copack is recalling various specialty beverage powders and mixes sold across 25 states after a supplier alerted the company to potential salmonella contamination in a dry milk powder ingredient, the FDA said.
Eighteen products are subject to the action, spanning five labels — Angel Specialty Products, Royal Gold, Boba Time, Fanale, and Denda — with items ranging from matcha green tea and taro powder to milk tea mixes, cappuccino and latte powders, horchata, and coconut powder. According to SKS Copack, distribution reached cafes, restaurants, and direct-delivery customers across California, Utah, Idaho, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Washington state, Oregon, Wisconsin, Nevada, Virginia, Connecticut, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Minnesota. No illnesses have been reported.
SKS Copack, based in Cerritos, California, said the recall was triggered after its supplier notified the company of a voluntary recall by California Dairies, Inc. covering a specific lot of low-heat nonfat dry milk powder that tested positive for salmonella. In response, the company pulled the implicated ingredient from its inventory and halted shipments of any products made with it. The company is cooperating with the FDA as the investigation continues.
