Maryland Dairy Issues Voluntary Recall Over Listeria Contamination Risk

June 5, 2026 – A Maryland dairy operation has issued a voluntary recall of its cheese products over concerns about bacterial contamination that could pose serious health risks.

Clover Hill Dairy, located in Mechanicsville, Maryland, is pulling all of its Soft Ricotta/Requeson Cheese from the market due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This dangerous bacteria can lead to severe and potentially deadly infections, particularly affecting young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.
