Follow-Up: Family Farmstead Recalls All of Its Cheddar Cheese in 12 States Over Listeria Risk
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on November 10 that Family Farmstead Dairy of Worcester, New York, is recalling all of its cheddar cheese products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall covers the dairy's Raw Mild Cheddar and Raw Sharp Cheddar, both in 8-ounce plastic-wrapped blocks, with all lot codes dated October 16, 2027, and prior included.
It is the dairy's second cheddar recall in little more than a month: on October 15, the company recalled certain raw cheddar products over potential contamination with E. coli O26:H11 and O45:H2. The FDA notes that Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems; healthy individuals may suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and infections in pregnant women can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths.
The products were distributed through retail stores in 12 states: New York, New Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee. Consumers may return the products to the place of purchase or contact the dairy at (607) 397-4044, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No other Family Farmstead Dairy products are included in the recall.
