Ambriola Co., Inc. is recalling 11,530 units of various grated Pecorino Romano cheese products under brand names including Locatelli, Boar's Head, Pinna, Sam's, and Ambriola Piccante.

These cheeses were distributed in 4 oz and 8 oz cups, and larger 1.5 lb, 5 lb, and 10 lb plastic bags across 20 states.
The product is contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause severe illness in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
