Dairy Recall: Listeria Contamination Prompts Recall of 58 Products

Affected Products and Retailers

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the recall of 58 dairy products, including cotija and other cheeses, sour cream, cheese crema, and yogurt. Some of the affected brands were sold by Costco, HEB, and Trader Joe's.

List of Recalled Products

A comprehensive list of recalled products, including their brand names, types, and lot numbers, is available on the FDA's website.

Potential Health Risks

The products are being recalled due to possible Listeria contamination. Listeria is a bacterium that can cause serious infections, especially in pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Consumer Actions

Consumers who have purchased any of the affected dairy products are advised to discard them immediately and contact their healthcare provider if they have any symptoms of Listeria infection. Symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Retailers that have sold these products should remove them from shelves and notify their customers about the recall.

Investigation and Ongoing Monitoring

The FDA is investigating the source of the Listeria contamination. The agency is also monitoring the recall to ensure that all affected products are removed from the market.
