A dairy company based in Bayshore, New York has issued a voluntary recall for its Requeson Cheese products over concerns about bacterial contamination.
Nelson & Isa Lacteos LLC is pulling one-pound packages of the cheese from shelves after discovering they could contain Listeria monocytogenes, a harmful bacteria that poses serious health risks.
The contamination is particularly dangerous for vulnerable groups, including young children, elderly individuals, and people with compromised immune systems, who could face severe or potentially deadly infections from exposure to the organism.
Consumers who have purchased the affected cheese products are advised to dispose of them immediately and not consume them.
