Overview
- Routine testing at Ambriola’s West Caldwell, New Jersey facility detected Listeria monocytogenes in grated Pecorino Romano products.
- The recall covers eight items sold under Ambriola, Locatelli, Pinna, Member’s Mark and Boar’s Head, including retail cups and bulk bags distributed between November 3 and November 20, 2025.
- The affected products reached roughly 20 states, and regulators have instructed removal from store shelves as the company continues testing and sanitation reviews.
- Ambriola has suspended production and distribution and is working with the FDA to investigate, according to CEO Phil Marfuggi.
- No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are urged not to eat the listed products, to discard or return them for refunds, and to contact a healthcare provider if they develop symptoms.
