Whole Foods Market has recalled approximately 202 pounds of Cahill Cheddar with Porter and Cahill Whiskey Cheddar Cheese because the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled cheese was sold in clear plastic packaging between May 17, 2021, and July 26, 2021. This voluntary recall was initiated after potential contamination was identified; currently, no illnesses have been reported. Consumers should not eat the cheese and should return it to their local Whole Foods Market for a full refund.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism 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 Whole Foods Market locations.
