Family Farmstead Recalls Raw Cheddar in 12 States Over Listeria

Family Farmstead Dairy is recalling its 8-ounce Raw Mild and Raw Sharp Cheddar cheeses because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall covers all lot codes dated Oct. 16, 2027, or earlier, distributed through retailers in 12 states. The company and FDA notice do not report whether any illnesses have been linked to the products. Consumers should not eat the cheese; they can return it to the store or contact the dairy, and should clean surfaces and utensils that touched it. The recall follows an October recall of some of the dairy’s raw cheddar over possible E. coli contamination.
