KB Specialty Foods, in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, has announced the recall of Deli Chef Sour Cream and Cheese Macaroni Salad from some Kroger-owned supermarkets.
The salad being recalled was distributed through the deli service counters at Kroger stores in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Louisiana and Texas. The recall also includes Dillon Stores in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma; Baker’s stores in Nebraska; Food 4 Less stores in Michigan; Gerbes Stores in Missouri; Hilander stores in Illinois; Kessel stores in Michigan; and Owen’s and Pay Less stores in Indiana.
Consumption of food contaminated with listeria can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially serious disease. As well as causing nausea and fever, listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, and can be serious and sometimes fatal in infants, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
