Natural Way Cheese is recalling eleven varieties of cheese curds, including flavors like Bacon Cheddar, Chive, and White Cheddar, because the milk used was stored in a holding tank for more than 72 hours. This exceeds the safety limit for tank cleaning intervals, which can lead to bacterial growth or contamination. The affected products were sold in 12-ounce retail bags and 10-pound wholesale bags in Michigan and Indiana. Consumers who have these products should not eat them and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Storing raw milk for longer than the regulated 72-hour limit without cleaning the equipment increases the risk of harmful bacterial growth and contamination in the final cheese product. While no specific illnesses have been reported, using milk from uncleaned tanks violates food safety standards intended to prevent foodborne illness.
Full refund upon return.
