Hy-Vee recalls two types of cream cheese

Hy-Vee is voluntarily recalling two varieties of its store-branded cream cheese spread out of concerns over salmonella.

The products are manufactured by a third-party supplier, which notified the Iowa-based grocery store about the items sold at Hy-Vee, Hy-Vee Drugstore, Dollar Fresh Market and Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh convenience stores. Hy-Vee said there had been no reports of adverse reactions from consumers eating the products.

Salmonella, a bacteria infection, can lead to diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps within a day to three days after exposure. Most healthy people recover after a few days without specific treatment, according to the Mayo Clinic. However, it can cause serious infections in children, elderly people and others who have a weakened immune system.
