Wegmans, Target and Sam’s Club Pull Grated Pecorino Romano Linked to N.J. Supplier Over Listeria Risk

Federal notices tie the products to Ambriola’s New Jersey plant, prompting retailer removals and refunds with no illnesses reported.

Overview

  • Wegmans voluntarily recalled all Locatelli Grated Pecorino Romano sold between November 14 and 24 after a supplier alert about possible Listeria monocytogenes, and the FDA says all lot codes were removed from shelves.
  • An FDA-posted notice from Ambriola Company limits the action to grated Pecorino Romano produced at its West Caldwell, New Jersey facility.
  • Additional recalls cover Boar’s Head, Member’s Mark, Pinna and Ambriola branded grated cheeses sold at Target, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Fresh Market and other retailers across multiple states.
  • Affected items include tubs, bags and cheese sold by the pound with various 2026 expiration dates, and customers are advised not to consume the products and to return them for full refunds.
  • Wegmans says recalled Locatelli tubs can be identified by a UPC beginning with 2-77580-XXXXX-7, and the company has posted a customer support line for questions.
