Cheese Recall Expands to More Bulk and Retail Cheese Products

Cheese recall expands to include more brands due to contamination of Listeria monocytogenes, which can be especially dangerous for diabetics.

The recently announced nationwide cheese recall, that was expanded once, has been expanded again to include Lipari, Copperwood and Yoke’s brands. Complete details appear below for these brands.

Lipari Foods, LLC has issued a voluntary recall of various bulk and retail cheeses manufactured by Deutsch Kase Haus due to potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, people with diabetes, 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.

The products were distributed to food service and retail stores throughout Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

This is ridiculous. The first cheese recall was 2/10 and here we are on 3/1 and other brands are just announcing that they are included for a 3rd expansion. It's all from the same supplier. They should have known right away. Don't be surprised to see more brands added...

Here's the first recall

1. Would we have recalls like this with a regulation-free environment proposed by Trump?

Republicans appear to believe that consumers have the ultimate "regulatory power" when we exercise choice and avoid brands with a bad reputation.

But, at what cost does a company earn their "bad reputation"? How many deaths are too many deaths that would make a company take action (assuming that their only incentive comes from consumers via the marketplace.)

How many deaths would a company feel is an acceptable loss with a cost-to-benefit analysis.

4. So nice to see the FDA losing investigators and agents that weed out

all these industries that; don't train their people and don't bother with any regulations and of course they have become a paper kitty.

8. Listeria contamination,nasty stuff. wonder how many people died and the source was never realized.

The symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, and sometimes nausea or diarrhea. If infection spreads to the nervous system, symptoms such as headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or convulsions can occur. But infected pregnant women may experience only a mild, flu-like illness.

Listeriosis is usually a mild illness for pregnant women, but it causes severe disease in the fetus or newborn baby.


Republicans should shut down that supplier a la blue bell, but they don't care at all about the American food supply. They eat better than the scrubs, drink bottled water and eat imported luxury cheeses

9. Listeria is a serious concern in the dairy industry

Our cheese, sour cream and yogurt facility swabs various locations around the plant weekly for it, with results verified by an outside lab. A positive hit leads to a line being shut down, extensively cleaned, and only reactivated after 3 weeks of clean test results.

One recall can potentially shut down a plant for good.

10. pesticides given to cows/cattle are mostly stored in fat, milk & products

Only eat/drink organic, pasture raised or you may get cancer like I had. No fun.
