CINCINNATI — Kroger Co. is recalling two onion soup and dip mixes because of possible salmonella contamination.

The grocer said an ingredient in its Kroger Onion Soup & Dip Mix and Kroger Beefy Onion Soup & Dip Mix may have been contaminated with the bacteria.

The mixes were sold in a number of states and are being recalled from its stores including King Soopers and City Market.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products. But eating food contaminated with salmonella can cause salmonellosis, a potentially life-threatening bacterial foodborne illness.

Kroger said customers who purchased the products should not eat them and return them to the store for a refund or replacement.
