Company amends dates on nationwide recall of mac and cheese

TreeHouse Food Inc. voluntarily recalled certain macaroni and cheese cups for a possible salmonella contamination, and now has amended the products impacted.

The company announced an amendment to the “Best By Dates” impacted by its voluntary recall of certain products. The company found the milk powder from its supplier used in the seasoning has the potential for salmonella contamination. Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.
