Current Cheese Recalls
Cheese recalls happen when regulators identify contamination, undeclared allergens, or labeling errors. Recent recalls have involved soft cheeses, shredded cheese, and cheese spreads sold under various brand names.
Common reasons for cheese recalls include listeria or salmonella contamination, undeclared milk or wheat allergens, and incorrect weight or packaging defects. These issues can affect both national and store-brand products.
How to Check for Active Recalls
To verify if a specific cheese is currently recalled, check the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall database at https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-outbreaks-emergencies/recalls or your local food safety authority website.
What to Do If You Have Recalled Cheese
If you have a recalled cheese product, do not eat it. Return it to the store for a refund or dispose of it according to local guidelines. Wash surfaces and hands that may have touched the product.
