Just got this and wanted to pass it on.
This has just been communicated from the Department of Defense:
DLA is notifying customers that there is a potential problem with MREs relating to the Dairyshake Powder included as a component in some meals. The Powder comes in various flavors (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Strawberry-Banana) and the manufacturer is investigating possible bacterial contamination with Salmonella. No illnesses have been reported. GSA is working to notify customers who may have received this product through the supply chain of sales, excess, surplus, or donation.
This is an initial communication to the donation participants of the supply chain.
As a summary statement, DOD is instructing its military users that only the dairyshake component of the MRE is at-risk, and is instructing that the dairy shake item should be disposed at the time of consumption. However, a different approach may be appropriate for some consumers within the excess / surplus / donation supply chain. Additional information will be provided, but it is important to get this early communication out to those who may have received the at-risk product so that steps can be taken to identify, isolate, and "freeze" the inventory until safety is assured.
