Abbey Specialty Foods is recalling approximately 233 cases of Wicklow Gold Cheddar Cheese because the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes 5.2 oz. packages of Nettle & Chive and Tomato & Herb cheddar-style cheeses sold in plastic cryo-vac packaging. These products were distributed to specialty retailers in Massachusetts, Colorado, and Ohio with a sell-by date of June 2, 2025. No illnesses have been reported to date. Consumers should return the cheese to the place of purchase for a full refund or throw it away.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea; however, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
