- On June 4, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration linked a multistate Listeria outbreak to Clover Hill Dairy soft ricotta products, sickening eight people across three states with seven hospitalizations and one death.

- Adults over 65, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems face increased risks from Listeria, experiencing symptoms including fever, muscle aches, and potential pregnancy loss.
