What happened

Clover Hill Dairy, LLC has initiated a Class I recall for several varieties of mild cheese due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes Yummy Cheddar, White Cheddar, White Colby, Monterey Jack, and Marble Jack sold in units ranging from 0.5-lb to 40-lb.

Who it affects

This recall affects Clover Hill Dairy, LLC, its distributors, and food safety professionals responsible for dairy product quality and sanitation oversight.

Why it matters

The FDA classification as Class I indicates a high probability that exposure to the contaminated cheese will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The presence of Listeria monocytogenes suggests potential systemic failures in environmental controls or pasteurization processes within the facility. The source notes that packaging and distribution details are currently unknown, which may complicate tracking and removal from the supply chain.

Practical takeaway

Quality teams should immediately verify if any listed cheese varieties are in inventory and isolate them. QA should review environmental monitoring and sanitation logs to identify potential sources of Listeria monocytogenes contamination in the processing facility.
