因常用脫脂奶粉成分可能受沙門氏菌污染，多款產品啟動回收
Introduction
A series of food product recalls have been initiated across multiple brands and retail chains following the identification of potential salmonella contamination in a dry milk powder ingredient. The ingredient, supplied by California Dairies, Inc., was recalled in April and subsequently incorporated into a range of seasoning, beverage, crouton, and frozen pizza products distributed nationwide.
在發現一種脫脂奶粉成分可能受沙門氏菌污染後，多個品牌與零售連鎖店已啟動一系列食品回收行動。該成分由 California Dairies, Inc. 提供，於四月被回收，隨後被用於在全國分銷的一系列調味料、飲料、麵包丁及冷凍披薩產品中。
Main Body
The etiology of the recalls traces to a voluntary recall by California Dairies, Inc. in April for certain lots of low-heat nonfat dry milk powder due to possible salmonella contamination. This ingredient was supplied to third-party manufacturers and subsequently used in multiple consumer goods. Blackstone Products recalled its 7.3-ounce bottles of Parmesan Ranch seasoning, identified by product number 4106 and Best If Used By dates between July 2, 2027, and August 12, 2027, with lot numbers 2025-43282, 2025-46172, and 2026-54751. These products were distributed through Walmart stores nationwide and the Blackstone Products website. Separately, SKS Copack recalled a variety of specialty beverage and dessert mixes under the Angel Specialty Products, Royal Gold, Boba Time, Fanale, and Denda brands, including matcha green tea, taro, caramel latte, horchata, milk tea, Dutch mocha cappuccino, yogurt powders, ice cream mixes, and smoothie bases. These items were distributed to cafes, restaurants, and via direct delivery in 25 states. Additional recalls encompassed Sugar Foods LLC’s Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic Croutons, packaged in five-ounce pouches and distributed to Kroger stores in 17 states between March 7, 2026, and April 7, 2026, as well as multiple frozen pizzas: Mama Cozzi’s Biscuit Crust Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Pizza and Biscuit Crust Cooked Pork Belly Crumbles, Cooked Bacon Topping, Pepper & Onion Breakfast Pizza sold at Aldi stores nationwide, and three Great Value frozen pizzas (Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch, Ultra Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch, and Stuffed Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch) sold at Walmart stores. No illnesses have been reported to date. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes that salmonella infections typically manifest within 12 to 72 hours post-ingestion, with symptoms including diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps lasting four to seven days, though severe infections can occur in vulnerable populations. Consumers are advised to dispose of affected products or return them for a refund.
此次回收的起因可追溯至 California Dairies, Inc. 於四月因可能受沙門氏菌污染而自願回收的部分批次低溫脫脂奶粉。該成分被供應給第三方製造商，隨後被用於多種消費產品中。Blackstone Products 回收了其 7.3 盎司裝的 Parmesan Ranch 調味料，產品編號為 4106，最佳食用日期在 2027 年 7 月 2 日至 8 月 12 日之間，批號為 2025-43282、2025-46172 及 2026-54751。這些產品透過全國 Walmart 門店及 Blackstone Products 官方網站分銷。另外，SKS Copack 回收了 Angel Specialty Products、Royal Gold、Boba Time、Fanale 及 Denda 品牌下的一系列特種飲料與甜點混合粉，包括抹茶綠茶、芋頭、焦糖拿鐵、horchata、奶茶、荷蘭摩卡卡布奇諾、優格粉、冰淇淋混合粉及果昔基底。這些產品分銷至 25 個州的咖啡店、餐廳或透過直接配送。其他回收項目還包括 Sugar Foods LLC 的 Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic 麵包丁（5 盎司包裝，於 2026 年 3 月 7 日至 4 月 7 日期間分銷至 17 個州的 Kroger 門店），以及多款冷凍披薩：在全國 Aldi 門店銷售的 Mama Cozzi’s 比司吉底香腸芝士早餐披薩、比司吉底熟豬肉碎、熟培根配料、青椒洋蔥早餐披薩，以及在 Walmart 門店銷售的三款 Great Value 冷凍披薩（薄底雞肉培根 Ranch、特薄底雞肉培根 Ranch 及內餡雞肉培根 Ranch）。截至目前尚未收到任何患病報告。美國食品藥品監督管理局 (FDA) 指出，沙門氏菌感染通常在攝入後 12 至 72 小時內發作，症狀包括腹瀉、發燒和腹痛，持續四至七天，但脆弱族群可能會出現嚴重感染。建議消費者將受影響產品丟棄或退貨以獲退款。
Conclusion
The recalls remain active, with no confirmed cases of illness, but regulatory authorities and companies urge consumers to verify product lot codes and Best If Used By dates and to take appropriate action to mitigate any potential health risk.
回收行動目前仍持續進行中，尚未有確認患病病例，但監管機構與相關公司促請消費者核對產品批號及最佳食用日期，並採取適當行動以降低任何潛在的健康風險。
Vocabulary Learning
The Architecture of Nominalization and Lexical Precision
To ascend from B2 to C2, a learner must transition from describing events to encoding systemic processes. This text is a masterclass in Nominalization—the linguistic process of turning verbs or adjectives into nouns to create a dense, objective, and authoritative tone typical of regulatory and legal English.
1. The "Action-to-Entity" Shift
Observe how the text avoids simple subject-verb-object sequences (e.g., "The company recalled the product because it might have salmonella"). Instead, it employs complex noun phrases:
- "The etiology of the recalls traces to..." Instead of saying "The recalls started because...", the author uses etiology (a medical/scientific term for causation) to transform a sequence of events into a formal study of origin.
- "...potential salmonella contamination" The action of contaminating is frozen into a noun phrase, allowing it to function as the object of the sentence, thereby increasing the "information density."
2. High-Precision Collocations
C2 mastery is defined by the ability to use words that are not just "correct," but domain-specific. Note the precision here:
| B2 Alternative | C2 Precision | Linguistic Nuance |
|---|---|---|
| Started | Initiated | Implies a formal, programmed procedure. |
| Show up | Manifest | Suggests a latent condition becoming visible. |
| Reduce | Mitigate | Specifically refers to lessening the severity of a risk. |
| After eating | Post-ingestion | Clinical terminology that removes the human subject for objectivity. |
3. The Syntactic Weight of Appositives
Look at the phrasing: "...low-heat nonfat dry milk powder due to possible salmonella contamination."
The C2 writer doesn't use multiple short sentences. They use cumulative modifiers. The noun "powder" is preceded by a string of adjectives (low-heat, nonfat, dry, milk) and followed by a prepositional phrase of causality. This allows the writer to pack a maximum amount of technical data into a single breath without losing grammatical coherence.
C2 Synthesis: To replicate this, stop focusing on who is doing what. Focus on the phenomenon itself. Replace active verbs with abstract nouns and support them with precise, academic adjectives.
