Meijer Recalls Meijer Brand Colby and Colby Jack Deli Cheeses Because of Possible Health Risk
The Meijer Brand Colby Cheese and Colby Jack Cheese were sold in Meijer
stores from Nov. 10, 2016 to Feb. 9, 2017. There have been no known illnesses
reported to Meijer from the product affected by this recall.
Meijer received notice of a possible
Listeria monocytogenes contamination from MDS Foods, a Meijer supplier that sources the Meijer
branded cheeses from Deutsch Kase Haus, a cheese manufacturer based in
Middlebury, Indiana. MDS Foods informed Meijer that evidence of potential
Listeria monocytogenes contamination had been identified by the manufacturer.
The recalled product will be in plastic deli packaging with printed labels
that have the UPCs 215927xxxxxx or 215938xxxxxx – the last 6 digits
will vary, and are determined by weight since the product was purchased
at the deli counter.
Customers should stop using the product and either dispose of it or return
it to the customer service desk at any Meijer store for a full refund.
For additional information, please contact Meijer at (800) 543-3704, available
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
