TreeHouse Mac & Cheese Recalled For Health Risk
TreeHouse Foods Announces Voluntary Product Recall Due to Possible Health Risk
TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) announced a voluntary recall of certain macaroni and cheese cup products containing cheddar cheese seasoning which may be contaminated with Salmonella.
