Del Bueno of Grandview, WA has recalled all size packages of the foollowing cheeses manufactured by them:
- Queso Fresco Fresh Cheese
- Queso Panela Fresh Cheese
- Requeson Mexican Style Ricotta Cheese
- Queso Enchilado Dry Cheese
This recall is the result of environmental samples and finished product samples taken by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the finished product samples taken by Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA). The test results revealed that the cheeses are
contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes contamination can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include largely short-term symptoms such as fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. However, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
