Vermeer Cheese in 4 oz to 12 oz packages

Keswick Creamery at Carrock Farms LLC recalled Vermeer Cheese in 4 oz to 12 oz packages 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 Aug 25, 2022.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "All products manufactured by the firm have the potential to be contaminated 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.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Distributed to farm stores and farmers markets in Washington DC, MD, VA, and PA." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Newburg, PA. The recall covers 40 lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 5, 2022), 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.
