Recall of Cheese Products Upgraded to Highest Danger Level over Listeria-Causing Bacteria: FDA
The FDA expanded the recall to over 11,500 units of grated Pecorino Romano cheese after Listeria was confirmed, posing serious health risks including death, officials said.
- The FDA upgraded the recall to Class I following laboratory tests confirming Listeria in cheese made by The Ambriola Company at its West Caldwell, New Jersey facility, the Jan. 6 enforcement report said.
- The Ambriola Company first recalled products on Nov. 25, 2025, after routine testing detected Listeria at its West Caldwell, New Jersey facility, prompting an expanded recall.
- Around 11,530 products under brands such as Boar's Head and Member's Mark are being pulled nationwide, covering consumer-sized packages and bulk bags across eight products with half sold directly to consumers.
- So far, the FDA says no illnesses have been reported; consumers should not eat the recalled cheese and may return it or discard it, contacting healthcare providers if symptomatic.
- A Class I designation means there is a `reasonable probability` of serious harm, as Listeria monocytogenes poses special risk to pregnant women, newborns, older adults and those with weakened immune systems, the FDA said.
