A Minnesota food company is voluntarily recalling some products because of potential bacterial contamination.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has issued a consumer advisory for certain peanut butter, cheese, salsa, cream cheese bagel spreads, dips and spreads made by Coon Rapids-based Parkers Farm.
The department says sampling found some of the products were contaminated with the bacteria that can cause listeriosis, a potentially serious disease.
No illnesses have been reported. Consumers should discard any of the recalled products.
The department says Parkers Farm is cooperating in the investigation.
The products are distributed nationwide in retail stores under the Parkers Farm or Parkers labels. The products may have been sold at Hy-Vee, Cub, Rainbow, Lunds/Byerly’s, Target, Whole Foods, Jewel, Dominicks or Marsh stores.
