Meijer brand Cheese added to the recall:

www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm541224.htm

Meijer is announcing a recall of its Meijer Brand Colby Cheese and Colby Jack Cheese sold exclusively through its deli counters due to a potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, 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, a Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

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 [phone], available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Sarah Lee cheese added

Sara Lee Deli is also recalling some of their cheeses; nearly 734 cases of Sara Lee branded sliced Monterey Jack with jalapeno peppers and sliced Colby Jack. They say the recall is out of caution because they were handled with the same equipment as other cheeses made by Deutsch Kase Haus that may possibly be infected with Listeria. Their cheeses were made by an outside supplier.

The affected Sara Lee sliced Monterey Jack with Jalapeno Peppers has a use by date of June 12, 2017, item number 40205, product lot #A319349610. The Sara Lee sliced Colby Jack cheese has a use by date of June 11, 2017, item number 40208, product lot #A319348610.
