Dunkin' Donuts Pulls Hot Chocolate & Dunkaccinos

By Associated Press

CANTON, Mass. (AP) - Dunkin' Donuts has temporarily halted the sale of hot chocolate and Dunkaccino brand beverages after learning that some equipment used at a supplier's facility was contaminated with salmonella.

The Canton, Mass.-based company said in a statement Tuesday that none of its products was contaminated and that the decision to withdraw the beverages from its stores was done as a precaution to
ensure customer safety.

The supplier, Plainview Milk Products Cooperative of Plainview, Minn., announced it had voluntarily recalled its instant nonfat dried milk and whey protein as well as some thickening agents due to potential salmonella contamination.

Plainview said there were no reported illnesses.

Dunkin' Donuts said it expected to resume hot chocolate and Dunkaccino sales shortly.
