The US Food and Drug Administration (USDA) has issued a recall for two cheese products due to concerns that they might cause food poisoning.
Hy-Vee is recalling two brands of cream cheese spread and bulk packets of cookies and cream mix "out of an abundance of caution" due to the possibility of salmonella contamination.
According to USA Today, Hy-Vee has issued a recall for plain whipped cream cheese, plain cream cheese, and cookies & cream mix as a precautionary measure, as stated in a notice from the US FDA.
The affected products are manufactured at various third-party facilities located in the Midwest and are sold under Hy-Vee's private label and bulk packaging programs, as stated in the notice. The manufacturers of these products informed Hy-Vee about the potential issue, leading the company to take voluntary action by recalling the products.
Schnucks has announced a recall of three cheese spreads due to potential salmonella contamination, according to a statement on the company's website.
The products affected are Schnucks whip cream spread, strawberry spread, as well as cream cheese spread.
