Shredded Parmesan Cheese Packaged in plastic 5lb bags, 4 bags per box

Middlefield Original Cheese Coop recalled Shredded Parmesan Cheese 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 Nov 29, 2019.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Potential Listeria monocytogenes in the cheese." 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 "Distributed to a single consignee within Ohio." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Middlefield, OH. The recall covers 80 lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jan 22, 2020), 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.
