What product is affected
The recall covers Kroger Homestyle Cheese Garlic Croutons sold in 5 oz pouches. The package identifier to match is UPC 0 11110 81353 4. The FDA notice says the recall applies to specific lots sold at retail, so not every Kroger crouton product is affected.
Why the croutons were recalled
According to the FDA recall notice, the product was pulled because of possible Salmonella contamination linked to milk powder. Salmonella is a foodborne bacterium that can cause illness, so it is important to avoid eating any package that matches the recalled product details.
What to do now
- Check your pantry, snack shelf, or bread box for the exact product name and size.
- Compare the UPC on the package: 0 11110 81353 4.
- Do not eat any matching product.
- Discard the recalled croutons.
If you are unsure whether a package matches the recall, compare it carefully against the FDA notice before serving it in a salad or using it in a recipe.
Were any illnesses reported?
The FDA notice should be checked for the latest status on illness reports. If no illnesses are reported, this remains an important precautionary pantry cleanup. Either way, shoppers should act promptly and remove any matching product from their home.
For the most reliable product-match details, use the FDA recall notice as the final word and verify the brand, package size, and UPC before tossing anything in question.
