Cahills Farm Cheese is recalling approximately 4.4 tons of various Irish cheese products, including Whiskey Cheese, Wine Cheddar, and Irish Porter varieties, due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes 5-pound deli wheels and smaller 7-ounce retail packages sold under the Cahills and Lidl Preferred Selection brands. These products were distributed nationwide, and consumers should not eat them as Listeria can cause serious health complications. If you have purchased any of the affected cheeses, you should return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund.
The cheese may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Full refund at place of purchase
