The Great Powdered Milk Recall of 2016 has become even greater, expanding to include even more candy-coated items. It turns out that Hy-Vee and Albertsons also get their store-brand confections from Palmer Candy Company, which are part of a massive powdered milk recall.

There’s a lot of milk caught up in this recall: the company behind it was raided by U.S. Marshals, who seized three million pounds of milk and buttermilk powder from Valley Milk in Virginia. The seizure was due to records showing Salmonella in the plant, including on fixtures after they had theoretically been cleaned.

This backstory means that these containers of peppermint bark or chocolate-covered pretzels are only potentially contaminated with Salmonella, but you’re still better off following the manufacturer’s directions and disposing of the snacks. No chocolate-covered pretzel is worth the symptoms of Salmonella, which include fever, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Complications can include arterial aneurysms, arthritis, and endocarditis.

Products: Candy sold at Hy-Vee stores in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
