(INDIANAPOLIS) - Certain packages of Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic Croutons are being recalled because of a potential salmonella contamination risk.
The recall involves specific lots of 5-ounce pouches of Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic Croutons with UPC code 0 11110 81353 4. The products were distributed to Kroger stores between March 7 and April 7, including stores in Indiana and several other states.
