The company discovered the potential contamination when its products were tested by an independent lab. The lab testing confirmed that products did test positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The company is no longer producing or distributing cheese while the FDA is investigating. All of its inventory has been quarantined.
If you have any of these cheeses, do not eat them. Return to the place of purchase for a refund. If you have questions, please call 1-608-934-5707 from 8 am to 5 pm CST, Monday through Friday.
