Kradjian Recalls Cheese on Listeria Fears
Kradjian Imp Co. of Glendale, CA is recalling 231 Cases of Cedar brand Tresse Cheese and Cedar brand Shinglish cheese, because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious, sometimes fatal infections.
The recalled products are:
Cedar brand Shinglish firm unrippened cheese, delivered before November 13, 2011 UPC: 78546 10000
Cedar brand Tresse firm unrippened cheese, delivered before November 13, 2011 UPC 78546 01000
Both cheeses, which are vacuum packed and bear the picture of a green cedar tree on the package, were distributed in Southern California to Mediterranean specialty markets. Both cheeses were manufactured and recalled by Fromagerie Marie Kade, in Quebec Canada.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an infection that is especially dangerous to young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
