If you have recalled cream cheese

Match the lot code, best-by date or UPC on your package to the codes on the recall page. If it matches, do not eat it: return it for a refund or discard it, and clean surfaces it touched. For Listeria, Salmonella or E. coli recalls, watch for symptoms for several weeks and contact a doctor if they appear.
