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.
