Two regional grocers — Hy-Vee and Schnuck Markets — are separately recalling a variety of cream cheese spreads sold across the Midwest because the products may be contaminated with salmonella.
Hy-Vee is recalling two varieties of Hy-Vee Cream Cheese Spread, as well as bulk-packaged Cookies & Cream Mix, the West Des Moines, Iowa-based retailer said Monday in a statement posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
Sold under Hy-Vee’s private label and bulk packaging programs, the recalled products were sold at more than 280 retail stores in eight Midwestern states: Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in the young, frail or elderly. Symptoms can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
People who purchased the recalled products should throw them out or return for a refund, Hy-Vee said.
Separately, St. Louis-based Schnuck Markets is recalling three cheese spreads for possible salmonella contamination:
The recalled products should be returned for a refund or exchange, according to the retailer, which operates 115 stores in four states, including Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin.
Hy-Vee confirmed the company and Schnucks used the same cream cheese supplier, which a spokesperson identified as Schreiber Foods of Green Bay, Wis. Hornbacher’s, a supermarket chain that operates eight stores in Minnesota and North Dakota, also cited Schreiber in recalling a vegetable cream cheese spread on Tuesday.
Schreiber did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
