You can throw the cheese away in a secure trash can with a tight fitting lid after first double bagging or wrapping it so other people can’t see it, or you can take it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
If you ate this cheese, especially if it was eaten right out of the package, monitor your health for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days. If you do get sick, see your doctor.
