Stoltzfus Family Dairy Recalls Sour Cream and Onion Cheese Curds Because of Possible Health Risk

Summary

Stoltzfus Family Dairy of Vernon Center, NY is recalling Sour Cream & Onion cheese curds because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which 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.

This product was only distributed within New York, to grocery stores, gas stations, and other Country stores.

Sour Cream and Onion Cheese Curds are currently being recalled:

To date, Stoltzfus Family Dairy has not received any reports of illness or injury related to these products. This recall was initiated following a recall by California Dairies, Inc. concerning potential Salmonella contamination in milk powder, which was used as an ingredient in our Sour Cream & Onion seasoning blend that we use to flavor our Sour Cream & Onion cheese curds.

We have identified the potentially affected Sour Cream & Onion cheese curds produced with the impacted ingredient. We are working with our retail partners to ensure any product in the field is destroyed or returned. We have notified the FDA and are working closely with them.
