Operational Rations, Dairyshake Powder, Recall Information Page

Plainview Milk Products Cooperative (MPC), Plainview, MN. voluntarily issued a recall of instant non-fat dried milk (NFDM) products produced between June 2007 and June 2009 made on equipment found to contain Salmonella during an FDA investigation of the facility. NFDM from Plainview MPC was used to produce some lots of "Dairyshake Powder, Fortified with Calcium and Vitamin D" that were assembled in some lots of MRE, UGR-E, and TOTEM rations. Following consultation with the FDA and confirming operational rations Dairyshakes were affected by the Plainview MPC recall, DSCP issued ALFOODACT 130-2009 to ensure no Dairyshakes would be consumed pending specific lot identification. Due to the extensive nature of potential adulteration, worldwide distribution, and war fighters' immediate need for operational rations, DSCP issued ALFOODACT 131-2009 with a single date of pack (DOP)/lot number cutoff for MRE and UGR-E rations. DSCP, in conjunction with the DoD Veterinary Service Agency/Office of the Surgeon General, determined the Plainview MPC NFDM recall be expanded to include all MRE Dairyshakes assembled from 1 January 2006 to 30 June 2009 to ensure the safety of war fighters around the world. Testing and quality control protocols are stringent for operational ration components and there are no known incidents of illness from consuming the operational ration Dairyshake Powder. However, the intermittent nature of potential adulteration makes it prudent to expand the recall period and provide our war fighters and other customers with only safe and wholesome products. DSCP will rework MRE under DLA control; reworked lots will maintain the original DOP/lot number; reworked lots will have an "R" placed on the case following the original DOP/lot number. DSCP issued ALFOODACT 139-2009 to provide an operational ration Dairyshake status update and information about this website.

DSCP has determined the assembler date of pack (DOP)/lot numbers listed on this site are NOT AFFECTED by the Dairyshake do not consume order. The database lists MRE assemblers alphabetically with that assemblers DOP/lot numbers (a Julian date) listed numerically. DSCP is providing this information to assist customers in determining if MRE stocks on hand are affected by the Dairyshake "Do Not Consume Order" or are safe to consume. Shipments from DLA depots that have been cleared should arrive with placards on each pallet. MRE with DOP/lot number 9140 and higher do not contain affected Dairyshake Powders and will not be listed. As DSCP issues reworked lots, the original lot code will be followed by an "R" to read "XXXX R" (See Photo).

1. Determine the MRE assembler: Ameriqual, SOPACKO, or Wornick. (See photos)
2. Determine the date of pack (DOP)/lot number. The lot number represents the Julian date the MRE was packed. (See photos)
3. If MREs on hand match BOTH the assembler and DOP/lot number the Dairyshake is safe to consume and you may print a placard to mark that specific lot.
4. Click the "print placard" link for your specific lot; recommend you set your printer to print "landscape".
5. The placard will print with the specific assembler's name and DOP/lot number you selected.
6. Attach the placard to the MRE pallet/case that matches BOTH the assembler's name and DOP/lot number.

1. If an MRE assembler's DOP/lot number IS NOT listed AND the MRE lot number is 9139 or earlier, the "DO NOT CONSUME ODER" remains applicable-do not consume the Dairyshake.
2. This web site is dynamic, as unaffected assembler lots are identified they will be posted.
3. The printable placards are assembler DOP/lot number specific; do not use for any other assemblers or any other DOP/lot number.
4. MRE lots reworked to remove affected Dairyshakes will have an "R" following the original lot number (See Photo). Reworked lot numbers will not be listed on this site.
5. Shipments from DLA depots that have been cleared should arrive with placards on each pallet.
6. MRE with DOP/lot number 9140 and later do not contain affected Dairyshake Powders and will not be listed on this site.
