White Cheddar Cheese, 40 lb. blocks

Farm Country Cheese House, INC. recalled White Cheddar Cheese, 40 lb. blocks in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Oct 10, 2016.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Farm Country Cheese House is conducting a voluntary recall of multiple vats of cheese due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Domestic: MI." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Lakeview, MI. The recall covers 1247.53 lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 23, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
