Nelson & Isa Lacteos Requeson Cheese is being recalled for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. No illnesses have been reported to the company to date in connection with the consumption of this product. The recalling firm is Nelson & Isa Lacteos of Bayshore, New York.
This soft cheese was sold in 1 pound plastic clamshell containers at the retail level in the state of New York from May 15 to May 28, 2026. The cheese was likely repacked at the store locations, and labeling or coding may vary.

Tests revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in an 18 pound plastic container of “Clover Hill Dairy Requeson Cheese” that was repackaged into the 1 pound packages.
