Middlefield Original Cheese Cooperative is recalling approximately 704 units of various cheese products, including Paneer, Pepper Jack, Horseradish Flavored, Monterey Jack, and Farmers Cheese. These cheeses were sold under the Middlefield Original Cheese Co-op and Copia Collective brands in vacuum-sealed plastic bags, loaves, and large blocks. The recall was initiated because the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers should not eat these products and should return them to the store where they were bought for a refund or throw them away.
The cheeses may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, and nausea, and the infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
