Christmas-themed Twinkies recalled over salmonella scare

Hostess Brands said Tuesday it’s issuing a voluntary recall of its holiday white peppermint Twinkies over a salmonella scare.

The company blamed a recall by Blommer Chocolate, which supplied confectionary coating for the Christmas snacks.

Blommer has issued its own recall because the coating contains milk powder ingredients that have been recalled by Valley

Milk Products, due to a concern over salmonella contamination.

No illnesses have been reported to date, and no samples of the confectionary coating have tested positive for salmonella, Hostess said.
