Several types of coffee, tea, and boba drink mixes have been recalled across 25 states due to potential salmonella contamination, according to a Saturday notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recall involves various specialty beverages distributed by SKS Copack, which contained a dry milk powder that had been recalled in April because it may have been contaminated with salmonella, a bacterium that causes food poisoning.
SKS Copack stated in an announcement shared by the FDA: "The recall was initiated after SKS Copack received notification from its supplier regarding a voluntary recall initiated by California Dairies, Inc. for a certain lot of low heat nonfat dry milk powder due to possible salmonella contamination. According to California Dairies, the recall followed the identification of positive salmonella results associated with routine product testing."
The affected products include beverage and dessert mixes from the company's Angel Specialty Products, Royal Gold, Boba Time, Fanale, and Denda brands. Specific items include matcha green tea, taro, caramel latte, horchata, milk tea, and Dutch mocha cappuccino. Yogurt powders, ice cream mixes, and smoothie bases from these brands were also impacted. Recalled products were distributed through cafes, restaurants, and direct delivery via Angel Specialty's website in 25 states: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
Consumers can identify the affected drink powders by their item and lot code and Best By Date, which are listed on the FDA website. After identifying the issue, the company stopped distributing the recalled items. Although no illnesses have been reported to date, consumers are urged to return the items to the place of purchase for a full refund.
According to the FDA, people with salmonella infections can develop symptoms within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Symptoms, which typically last from four to seven days and usually resolve without treatment, include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Severe infections may cause high fever, headaches, lethargy, a rash, or blood in the urine or stool.
The drink mixes are not the only products affected by the recalled dry milk powder. Last week, Sugar Foods LLC recalled multiple lots of its Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic Croutons because they were made with the dairy-based ingredient. Affected croutons were packaged in five-ounce pouches and distributed between March 7, 2026, and April 7, 2026, to Kroger stores in 17 states. Earlier this month, several types of frozen pizzas containing the affected dry milk powder were recalled, including Mama Cozzi's Biscuit Crust Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Pizza and Biscuit Crust Cooked Pork Belly Crumbles, Cooked Bacon Topping, Pepper & Onion Breakfast Pizza, both sold at Aldi stores nationwide. Additionally, three Great Value frozen pizzas—Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch, Ultra Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch, and Stuffed Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch—were included in that recall and were sold at Walmart stores across the country.
