More than three dozen snack products sold under numerous brand names are being recalled due to fears that one of their ingredients could be contaminated with the potentially deadly bacterium Salmonella. Here’s what you need to know about the snacks recall.
Beginning last month, a company called California Dairies Inc. recalled buttermilk and bulk powdered milk distributed to manufacturers over fears that the ingredients could be contaminated with Salmonella, according to a safety alert posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Since that initial recall, numerous other brands have recalled their own products that used the recalled ingredients.
Given the potentially deadly nature of Salmonella, the FDA has now compiled all recalled products into a single list to highlight their risk to consumers.
The list of products primarily contains snack items that were sold at various locations across the United States, including one product that was sold in Target stores.
Fast Company has reached out to California Dairies for comment.
The number of recalls associated with the original California Dairies now totals eight, according to a May 11 update from the FDA. Those eight recalls include the following:
The recalled snack item sold at Target is a Good & Gather Mexican Street Corn Trail Mix product.
Symptoms of a Salmonella infection can vary from individual to individual. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most people who contract a Salmonella infection present with the following symptoms:
Additionally, some people have other symptoms, including:
Symptoms can start anywhere from 6 hours to 6 days after infection.
The FDA notes that most people will recover from a Salmonella infection without treatment in 4 to 7 days. However, an infection can sometimes be fatal.
Those most at risk include the elderly, children under 5, those who are pregnant, and those with weakened immune systems.
Consumers are urged to read the full recall notices to check the items listed against the ones they may have purchased.
Instructions on what to do if you have the recalled items can be found in their individual notices.

It’s not often that a serious medical condition gets renamed, but that’s the case now for a condition that impacts one in eight women.
Polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder long known as PCOS, will now be called PMOS – short for polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. The new name, announced Tuesday at the European Congress of Endocrinology and published in leading medical journal The Lancet, aims to more accurately describe the syndrome and make diagnosis easier for people who suffer from it.
A group of specialists who worked to rename the condition criticized its longstanding name as inaccurate, explaining that misunderstandings about its features led to delayed diagnosis and inadequate care, as well as interfering with research.
“What we now know is that there is actually no increase in abnormal cysts on the ovary, and the diverse features of the condition were often unappreciated,” said Monash University Professor Helena Teede, an Australian clinical researcher and endocrinologist who spearheaded the change. The hormonal disorder’s new name puts the focus on “endocrine, metabolic, and ovarian dysfunction” – three major areas of symptoms for sufferers.
The name change is the result of a 14-year-long worldwide effort that collected input from more than 50 organizations and 14,000 people with the condition. The new name for PCOS will be officially implemented in a 2028 update to international guidelines for treatment of the disorder.
“While international guidelines have advanced awareness and care, a name change was the next critical step towards recognition and improvement in the long-term impacts of this condition,” Teede said.
People who suffer from PCOS often have unusually high levels of androgen hormones like testosterone – a hallmark of the endocrine disorder. Those hormonal imbalances can disrupt ovulation, cause unpredictable and especially painful periods, and lead to fertility problems in PCOS sufferers.
The new name for PCOS will deemphasize the condition’s association with ovarian cysts, centering its complex hormonal fluctuations instead. In PCOS, hormone changes can prevent follicles from emptying and releasing eggs, which can create something that looks like a cyst on the ovaries but that is actually distinct from a true ovarian cyst.
People with PCOS are also at a higher risk for endometrial cancer due to the disruptions to ovulation and their menstrual cycles. Because they ovulate irregularly, the uterine lining is exposed to more estrogen and less progesterone, a hormonal switch that increases the risk of cancer.
PCOS can also lead to symptoms well beyond the reproductive system, disrupting metabolism, causing depression and anxiety, and creating a hormonal environment for severe acne and excess hair growth. People with PCOS are at greater risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea, among other comorbid conditions.
LIke many chronic women’s health conditions, PCOS lacks a simple diagnostic test and does not yet have a known cure. Through hormone therapies and lifestyle changes, symptoms can be managed when patients receive an accurate diagnosis – something the disorder’s new name should make more common.
“This change was driven with and for those affected by the condition and we are proud to have arrived at a new name that finally accurately reflects the complexity of the condition,” Teede said. “Make no mistake, this is a landmark moment that will lead to desperately needed worldwide advancements in clinical practice and research.”

Roaring Kitty’s deleted post on X triggered a crash in the meme coin RKC, wiping out 90% of its value within hours.
Traders who bought into the hype lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, while the coin’s developer reportedly cashed out over $600,000 before it collapsed.
Keith Gill’s verified X account, popularly known by his 1.6 million followers as Roaring Kitty, ended a 16-month silence on May 11 with a post that sent traders into a frenzy. At around 21:13 GMT, the account shared a Solana Pump.fun contract address for a newly launched meme coin called Red Kitten Crew (RKC), alongside a short cartoon clip.
Minutes later, the account shared a second post featuring an image captioned “red bandit crew 4 life,” which was later deleted. The sudden activity started a rush of speculative trading that briefly sent RKC soaring before the deletions triggered panic selling, causing the token to crash 90% and wiping millions from its market cap.
Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain later reported that the meme coin’s developer had already cashed out 6,260 SOL, worth around $611,000, before the posts were removed. According to them, the individual used 20 SOL worth roughly $1,950 across 10 wallets to acquire 395.18 million RKC tokens, representing 39.52% of the total supply, before selling the entire stash for $495,000.
Lookonchain also revealed that the developer earned an additional 1,209 SOL, worth approximately $118,000, through creator fees.
On-chain analysts are saying that the incident followed a pattern they’ve seen many times in crypto, where influencers create hype, developers cash out, and retail traders are left with losses. Others also questioned the authenticity of the posts, noting Keith Gill has built his online presence around GameStop commentary and has never publicly promoted meme coins before, leading to speculation that the account may have been hacked.
There’s been a trend of high-profile X accounts being compromised to promote meme coins, with similar breaches in the past targeting major public figures and companies such as Michael Saylor and Kylian Mbappé. The former’s account was used to push a fake Bitcoin giveaway, while the latter’s promoted a Solana meme coin scam, with both incidents resulting in a spike in trading volumes before a collapse.
At the same time, Pump.fun has also been involved in controversy, with researchers claiming that a large percentage of tokens launched on the platform display characteristics commonly associated with scams or wash trading. The Solana-based meme coin maker has also been targeted by two class-action lawsuits in the past, with both accusing it of violating U.S. securities laws by facilitating the launch of unregistered tokens and allegedly collecting up to $500 million in related fees.
