Salmonella Fears Fuel Twinkie Recall
January 10, 2017Hostess Brands has issued a voluntary recall of its Holiday White Peppermint Hostess® Twinkies® due to possible salmonella contamination.
Hostess issued the recall in response to a previous recall by Blommer Chocolate Co., which produced the confectionery coating used on the snack cakes. Blommer Chocolate’s coating contains milk powder ingredients produced by Valley Milk Products LLC, a Rome, GA–based manufacturer that recently reported the presence of salmonella in its production facility.
No reports of illness have been linked to the potentially contaminated Twinkies, CNN reports.
