The affected product is identified as Family Farmstead Dairy Raw Mild Cheddar Cheese, lot code 7/22/27, with a best-by date of 7/22/27. It was distributed to grocery stores in New York and New Jersey. The company said it identified the issue after a Maryland sample found two strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
The company reported no illnesses or allergic reactions as of October 15. That describes the company’s reports at that time and does not remove the stated contamination risk. The notice says consumers should not eat the product and should discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. The recall is limited to the identified lot.
