Country Fresh Recalls Various Cooking And Snacking Products Due To Possible Health Risk
Following the Sargento Cheese Company recall where select Sargento branded
cheeses were recalled due to the potential of being contaminated with
Listeria monocytogenes, Country Fresh, LLC. of Conroe, Texas, is recalling 2,552 cases of various
cooking and snacking products (product descriptions attached), that contained
Sargento branded cheeses because they have the potential to be contaminated with
Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes
fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others
with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer
only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness,
nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages
and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The product in question was shipped to retailers in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia under the Country Fresh and store
brand labels described in the product listing.
