TreeHouse Foods Amends Best By Dates in Voluntary Product Recall of Macaroni & Cheese Cup Products

By MANNA Foodbank

OAK BROOK, Ill. (December 27, 2016) – TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) today announced an amendment to the Best By Dates in its December 11, 2016, press release related to its voluntary recall of certain macaroni and cheese cup products.  The products contain cheddar cheese seasoning which may be contaminated with Salmonella.

This follows notification from our supplier that the milk powder used in the seasoning has the potential for Salmonella contamination.

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Most individuals recover without treatment. In some cases, diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. The elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.

Product was distributed nationwide through retail stores.  The following products are affected by this recall:
