What happened

La Colonia Foods Llc has initiated an ongoing Class I recall for Selectos Latinos Requeson Mexicano Mexican Cottage Cheese due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected product is distributed in 16 oz clear plastic retail containers and requires refrigeration.

Who it affects

This recall affects La Colonia Foods Llc, its retail distributors, and quality and food safety teams responsible for dairy product oversight and pathogen control.

Why it matters

A Class I designation indicates the FDA's assessment that exposure to the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. For regulatory professionals, this underscores the critical nature of pathogen monitoring in soft cheese manufacturing and suggests that the firm's environmental monitoring or batch testing may have identified a high-risk contamination event.

Practical takeaway

Quality units should immediately verify if this product is in their inventory or supply chain, secure any affected stock under quarantine, and review sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOPs) for soft cheese production lines to mitigate Listeria risks.
