- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall for over 1 million bags of shredded cheese due to the possible presence of metal particles or Listeria.
- The recalled products were sold at national retailers, including Walmart, Aldi, Publix, Target, and Ambriola, among others.
- The recall affects 64 different cheese products and spans 32 states and regions.
The Food and Drug Administration issued an active recall for over 1.5 million bags of shredded cheese products due to the potential presence of metal fragments or Listeria contamination.
On December 1, the FDA elevated the recall to a Class II, meaning “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
The cheeses affected by the recall may have metal fragments from the suppliers’ raw materials. This may pose a risk of intestinal injury or illness to consumers; however, no illnesses or deaths have been reported to date.
According to the FDA, the shredded cheese products were distributed to major retail stores, including Walmart, Aldi, Publix, and Target, as well as other distributors, between November 3 and 20.
Great Lakes Cheese issued a recall of roughly half a dozen types of shredded cheeses in early October due to the possibility of containing metal fragments.
The Ambriola Company announced a recall on November 25 for some of its products after routine testing confirmed the presence of Listeria, which can lead to potentially life threatening infections.
“We take food safety very seriously and immediately alerted stores and distributors to remove the affected products from shelves,” Ambriola CEO Phil Marfuggi said in a statement. “We are working closely with the FDA and continuing to test our products and facilities to fully understand the situation.”
Healthline reached out to various retailers, such as Walmart, Aldi, and Target, but the companies couldn’t be reached for comment.
All affected products can be identified by the UPC and batch code.
If you have any shredded cheese that matches this information, it’s recommended that you either dispose of it or return it to the retailer where you purchased it for a potential refund.
