Hy-Vee Cream Cheese recall
Hy-Vee has recalled selection cream cheese spreads over Salmonella concerns.

Hy-Vee is recalling two varieties of its cream cheese spread and bulk-packaged cookies & cream mix over a possible Salmonella contamination. Both products are sold under the grocer’s private label brand.

According to Hy-Vee, products in the recalls were manufactured at different third-party facilities around the Midwest and are sold under Hy-Vee’s private label and bulk packaging programs. The manufacturers of these products notified Hy-Vee of the potential issue. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of any of these 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. 

No other varieties of Hy-Vee Cream Cheese or bulk-packaged items are affected by this voluntary recall.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.
