Certain cheese products are being recalled due to possible Listeria contamination

Overview

  • Routine testing detected Listeria monocytogenes in select imported grated Pecorino Romano, prompting Ambriola’s recall launched in late November.
  • The FDA’s January 6 Class I designation indicates a reasonable probability that exposure could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
  • Recalled items span multiple brands—including Boar’s Head, Locatelli, Member’s Mark, Pinna, and Ambriola—and were distributed in 20 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
  • No related illnesses have been reported, and Ambriola says it alerted retailers to remove products and is testing products and facilities in coordination with the FDA.
  • Two Boar’s Head EverRoast Chicken Caesar items tied to the recalled cheese—2 salad units and 11 wrap units—were sold in Kroger stores in Kentucky and Indiana and have been withdrawn.
