Nelson & Isa Lacteos LLC — Class I: Requeson (soft ricotta) 1 lb. packed into a clear clamshell package with no labeling infor
Nelson & Isa Lacteos LLC has initiated a Class I recall for one-pound packages of Requeson (soft ricotta) due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected product was distributed in clear clamshell packages lacking formal labeling, lot codes, or UPCs, with only the product name handwritten on the lid.
This recall affects Nelson & Isa Lacteos LLC, its distribution partners, and quality/compliance professionals responsible for dairy product safety and labeling standards.
A Class I designation indicates a high risk of serious adverse health consequences or death from exposure to the pathogen. The absence of formal labeling, lot codes, and UPCs suggests significant gaps in the firm's quality management system and traceability controls, which likely complicates the recall process and increases regulatory scrutiny on their manufacturing practices.
QA and Production teams should verify that all finished goods undergo a formal labeling review to ensure essential identifiers (lot codes, UPCs, and ingredient declarations) are present. Compliance officers must ensure sanitation SOPs specifically address Listeria monocytogenes risks in soft cheese production environments.
Class I. Reason: Products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.. Product: Requeson (soft ricotta) 1 lb. packed into a clear clamshell package with no labeling information. "Requeson" is handwritten in black marker on the top lid of the clamshell package. No lot code or UPC.. Firm: Nelson & Isa Lacteos LLC (Bay Shore NY United States). Status: Ongoing.
