(West Des Moines, IA) -- Hy-Vee is voluntarily recalling two varieties of its store-brand cream cheese spread due to the potential for Salmonella contamination. Hy-Vee is also recalling its bulk-packaged Cookies & Cream Mix for the same reason. The plant that makes the products notified the grocer about the potential. There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of the products.
The affected products were distributed to Hy-Vee, Hy-Vee Drugstore and Dollar Fresh Market locations – as well as Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh convenience stores – across the company’s eight-state region of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The recalled products are labeled as outlined below.
No other varieties of Hy-Vee Cream Cheese or bulk-packaged items are affected by this voluntary recall.
Hy-Vee has voluntarily removed all affected items listed above from its shelves. Customers who purchased the product should dispose of the product or return it to their local Hy-Vee store for a full refund. Customers with questions may contact Hy-Vee Customer Care representatives at (800) 772-4098 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
