Cheddar Cheese Recalled in 12 States over Possible Listeria Contamination
The recall covers 8-ounce raw mild and sharp cheddar packages after a possible Listeria contamination, with no illnesses reported, the FDA said.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Family Farmstead Dairy is recalling all 8-ounce Raw Mild Cheddar and Raw Sharp Cheddar products sold in 12 states with lot codes dated October 16, 2027, or earlier due to possible Listeria contamination.
- This marks the company's second cheddar recall this fall; Family Farmstead previously recalled raw cheddar on October 15, 2026, due to E. coli concerns, after which the company said it was "committed to identifying the cause of this issue."
- Food Poisoning Bulletin advises anyone who consumed the recalled cheese to monitor for symptoms for 70 days, as Listeria poses severe risks to pregnant people, newborns, adults 65 and older, and those with weakened immune systems.
- Consumers can contact Family Farmstead at 607-397-4044, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for assistance; customers should check refrigerators for affected packages and return them to the place of purchase or discard in sealed bags.
- Raw-Milk cheese remains unpasteurized, meaning the heating process that kills harmful bacteria was not performed; aging does not reliably remove every germ, which is why health agencies advise pregnant people and those at high risk to avoid unpasteurized dairy entirely.
