Kennys Farmhouse Cheese recalled Kentucky Blue, bleu 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 Oct 2, 2012.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination" Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "KY, TN, FL, IL, VA, OH." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Austin, KY. The recall covers 77.78lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 21, 2012), 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.
