Austin, TX—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Whole Foods Market reported that one of their suppliers, Bravo Farms, has announced a voluntary recall of cheese due to a Listeria and E. coli contamination threat. The recall was announced on November 24, 2010.
The FDA reported that the following products are involved in the recall:
• Sage Cheddar
• Silver Mountain Cheddar
• Chipotle Cheddar
• Premium Block Cheddar
• Premium White Chunk Cheddar
• Chipotle Chunk Cheddar
• White Black Wax Cheddar
• Gouda
• Pepper Jack
• Tulare Cannonball
The cheeses were sold at Whole Foods Market stores in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. The cheeses were cut and packaged in clear plastic wrap and sold with a sticker that reads, “Distributed by Whole Foods Markets.”
A sign was posted at Whole Foods Markets to alert customers of the recall.
Customers who purchased any of the recalled products can return them to Whole Foods Market for a full refund. Costumers can contact Whole Foods Market at 512-542-0878.
The FDA reported, “E. coli 0157:H7 causes diarrhea illness often with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure. Young children and the elderly are most susceptible to serious complications and even death. Listeria can cause listeriosis among at risk people, including pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, and sometimes nausea or diarrhea. If infection spreads to the nervous system, symptoms such as headache and stiff neck can occur.”
