Lake Wolf Creamery: Various Soft Cheeses Recalled Due to Improper Pasteurization Temperatures

Agency Publication Date: October 19, 2021

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lake Wolf Creamery is voluntarily recalling approximately 73 units (totaling about 72 pounds) of Queso Fresco, Queso Oaxaca, and Cheddar Curds because the milk pasteurization temperature was not properly recorded or maintained at the required 150°F. These refrigerated cheeses were sold in various weights ranging from 0.5 lbs. to 3 lbs. in Idaho and Washington. Consumers should not eat these products and should return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

Risk

Improper pasteurization means the milk used to make the cheese may not have reached the temperatures necessary to kill harmful bacteria. This creates a risk of foodborne illness if pathogens survived the production process.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator for Lake Wolf Creamery Queso Fresco (0.5 or 1.5 lbs), Queso Oaxaca (0.5, 1.5, 2, or 3 lbs), or Cheddar Curds (0.5 lbs).
  2. Look for 'best by' dates of 10/16/21 for the Queso Fresco and Cheddar Curds, and 10/21/21 for the Queso Oaxaca.
  3. Verify if your product matches the packaging: Queso Fresco and Oaxaca are vacuum-packaged in flexible plastic; Cheddar Curds are in sealed lidded cups.
  4. Immediately stop using and do not consume any affected cheese products.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Lake Wolf Creamery at their Deer Park, Washington location for more information.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
