Days after a listeria recall of cheese from Whole Foods, more cheese gets recalled

Cahill’s Farm Cheese recalled 33 batches of five kinds of cheeses Thursday two days after their cheeses were recalled from Whole Foods Markets for the same reason: They might be contaminated with listeria.

“Routine testing picked up positives of listeria monocytogenes,” Cahill’s FDA-posted recall notice said. “Our investigation identified a single piece of equipment in our facility as the potential source of this issue, and the equipment was immediately removed from our production line. All our products manufactured since have tested fully clear.”

Whole Foods cheeses recalled in Florida and 21 other states. Listeria is possible

The company, in Newcastle West, Ireland, pulled its 5-pound deli wheels of Original Irish Porter Cheese, Irish Whiskey Cheese and Wine Cheese, which were sometimes cut and repacked or used in food service.

Listeria hits about 1,600 Americans each year, the CDC says, and kills about 260. Especially vulnerable are senior citizens, pregnant women (listeria can bring on stillbirths and miscarriage), children under 5 and people with damaged immune systems. Listeria symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, high fever, severe headaches, stomach aches, stiffness, confusion and poor balance.
