Nationwide Listeria Outbreak Triggers Massive Cheese Product Recalls

Rizo-López Foods, implicated in the outbreak, has recalled nearly 60 food items, including cheese, salad, and taco kits sold at major U.S. retailers.

A decade-long listeria outbreak linked to cheese from Rizo-López Foods has led to recalls of nearly 60 food items across the U.S.
The outbreak has resulted in 26 cases of illness, 23 hospitalizations, and two deaths in 11 states, with a significant number of cases in California.
Rizo-López Foods has voluntarily recalled all products manufactured at its facility and is working to identify and correct the root cause of the contamination.
The recalled products include a wide range of food items, from salad and taco kits to dairy products, sold at major retailers like Costco, Walmart, and Trader Joe's.
Health officials advise consumers to check their refrigerators for recalled products and to clean any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with them.
