Stoltzfus Family Dairy Recall alerts consumers in New York about Sour Cream & Onion Cheese Curds that may be contaminated with Salmonella.
This Cheese Recall affects 8-ounce bags distributed only within New York State, where the product was sold through grocery stores, gas stations, and country stores. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported so far, consumers are being urged to check refrigerators and discard any recalled product immediately.
The company says the recall began after California Dairies, Inc. issued a separate recall involving potential Salmonella contamination in milk powder, which was used as an ingredient in Stoltzfus Family Dairy’s Sour Cream & Onion seasoning blend.
