The recall was issued by Keswick after a routine inspection by the Food and Drug Administration found that some of the cheeses sampled contain Listeria monocytogenes. Customers that purchased the recalled cheese should dispose of it.
Listeria monocytogenes are not typically dangerous for young and healthy individuals. It can be a different story though for children, the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women. It’s not unheard of for a Listeria contamination to lead to a stillbirth for pregnant women. Fortunately, so far no illnesses have been reported related to this recall.
