Stoltzfus Family Dairy has recalled its Sour Cream & Onion cheese curds due to possible Salmonella contamination. The dairy, based in Vernon Center, New York, initiated the recall after identifying a potential health risk in the product. Salmonella is a bacteria that causes food poisoning, and certain groups face more serious complications from infection.
The bacteria poses the greatest danger to young children, elderly people, and anyone with a weakened immune system. These vulnerable populations can develop severe infections that may require hospitalization. Even healthy adults can experience significant illness from Salmonella, though their cases are typically less severe. Symptoms usually include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps that develop within hours or days of eating contaminated food.
If you've purchased Sour Cream & Onion cheese curds from Stoltzfus Family Dairy, don't eat them. Throw the product away or return it to where you bought it for a refund. Check your fridge and freezer for any packages you might have missed. If you or a family member ate the product and develop symptoms like fever, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, contact your doctor. Mention that you may have been exposed to Salmonella so they can provide proper treatment.
