PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A string of cream cheese recalls for possible salmonella contamination has expanded to include Aldi stores in 28 states and the District of Columbia.
Aldi said it is recalling four varieties of cream cheese spread that may have been contaminated by salmonella at a third-party supplier Schreiber Foods, Inc., the store chain said in a news release.
Aldi says the following eight-ounce cups of cream cheese spread are impacted by the recall:
The FDA says salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Infections can be serious and sometimes fatal for young children, the elderly or immunocompromised people.
The recalled products were sold at Aldi stores across 28 states and the District of Columbia.
Those states are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Aldi says anyone who bought the products should immediately throw it away, or return it to their local store for a full refund.
Aldi says anyone who wants more information should contact Schreiber Foods at 1-800-644-5473 or email [email protected].
Aldi's recall comes after three regional grocery chains — Hornbacher's, Hy-Vee and Schnucks — recalled cream cheese supplied by Schreiber's, of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Schreiber was alerted by one of its suppliers that a whey protein concentrate used in the cream cheese may have been tainted with salmonella, a spokesperson for Schnucks told CBS News.
Schreiber Foods did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CBS News Philadelphia.
