It’s understood the contamination did not come from the supply of milk from a farm, but originated on site in a milk dryer, and it did not enter the food chain.
Neighbouring processors are understood to be processing powder on behalf of Tipperary Co-op.
The facility expects powder production to resume in the coming weeks.
