The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled over 800,000 cream cheese items from the Wisconsin-based Schreiber Foods after the company found that they might contain traces of salmonella.

The Epoch Times quoted the FDA's enforcement report released Friday (June 7), which indicated that the manufacturer's affected dairy products were labeled as "Class II" recalls and distributed to several food retailers in several US states and even Puerto Rico. 

Traces of Salmonella Found in Cream Cheese

The agency added that the products might cause "temporary or Medically reversible adverse health consequences" due to salmonella.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause vomiting, nausea, fever, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Those affected by it normally recover from an infection without treatment within a week. 

However, symptoms could be more severe in infants, young children, individuals aged 65 and above, people with weakened immune systems, and those taking certain medications, including those that reduce stomach acidity. 

There are even rare cases of salmonella where it could infect the blood, joints, nervous system, the brain or spinal fluid, or the urinary tract, which could lead to hospitalization or death.

Other Salmonella Recalls

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported this week that the FDA also recalled cucumbers that may contain traces of salmonella. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),  the bacteria in a cucumber distributed by Fresh Start Produce from Delray Beach, Florida, were detected earlier last month.

At least 54 people across half of the United States and Washington, DC, were hospitalized, but no deaths were reported from March 11 to May 16, the CDC added.

This week, the FDA issued a third salmonella recall involving ground black pepper distributed nationwide by UBC Food Distributors from Dearborn, Michigan.
