February 13, 2017 By The FDA Leave a Comment

Following the Sargento Cheese Company recall where select Sargento branded
cheeses were recalled due to the potential of being contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, Country
Fresh, LLC. of Conroe, Texas, is recalling 2,552 cases of various cooking and snacking products
(product descriptions attached), that contained Sargento branded cheeses because they have the
potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in
young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy
individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness,
nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths
among pregnant women.
