 The company said no illnesses had been reported and that the
products had been distributed nationwide through retail stores.
Products being recalled are Big Win Original Macaroni & Cheese
Dinner, Cheese Club Express Mac Macaroni & Cheese Dinner and Great
Value Macaroni & Cheese Original Cups, the company said.
TreeHouse said the recall was issued because of a notification from
its supplier that the milk powder used in the seasoning of the
products had the potential for salmonella contamination.
Salmonella is a bacteria that typically infects the intestinal tract
and can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that
about 1.2 million illnesses and about 450 deaths occur because of
non-typhoidal salmonella annually in the United States.
