The list of products affected by a previous dry milk recall grew even longer this week as the Food and Drug Administration identified more than 20 new products that needed to be pulled from shelves.
Big picture view:
All of the latest products were produced by SKS Copack under multiple brand names. A majority of the items were sold under the Angel Specialty Products brand name. Other labels, including Boba Time, Denda, Fanale, and Royal Gold, also had at least one product affected.
The brands were sold through cafes and restaurants across 25 states and could be purchased online via the company website.

Dig deeper:
In April, the Food and Drug Administration announced recalls on powdered milk and powdered buttermilk that were sold in bulk by California Dairies, Inc., to other wholesale distributors and manufacturers and began the process of finding the foods made with the potentially contaminated products.
Because some of the downstream products contained meat, poultry, or eggs, those food items fell under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is compiling its own list.
Full list of products
FOX Television Stations has been tracking the downstream effects of the original California Dairies recall on its powdered milk and buttermilk over Salmonella fears. Below is an updated list of many of the items identified so far.
What's next:
Federal health officials previously said they are still working to determine if any other recalls will be necessary.
Why you should care:
Eating food that has been contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, a common bacteria-based foodborne illness. Most infected people will experience fever, diarrhea, or abdominal pains within six hours to six days after eating the foods. The illness can last up to a week. Even though it can cause some hospitalizations, most people recover without treatment.
The FDA notes that no illnesses have been reported in connection with recalls.
