Family Farmstead Dairy is recalling all of its cheddar cheese products.[1] The reason is potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.[2] The Food and Drug Administration posted the announcement on 10 November.[3]
The dairy is in Worcester, New York.[4]The second recall in a month
This recall follows one on 15 October, when the dairy recalled raw cheddar over a risk of E. coli.[5] The new recall came 26 days after that one, which covered a single lot.[6]
The scope has widened from one lot to all of them, and the organism named has changed from E. coli to Listeria.
What is covered
The affected products are 8-ounce, plastic-wrapped Raw Mild Cheddar and Raw Sharp Cheddar.[7] Every lot code dated 10/16/27 or earlier is included.[8] The cheese was distributed in 12 states.[9]What to do
Consumers may return the cheese to the place where they bought it.[10]

How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.

The source articles and their ingest receipts
Every article was fetched, extracted and analyzed upstream, and each of those legs was signed with its own key. This opens the record's own receipts for them.

The facts this piece stands on were selected by semantic search over the record: AI embeddings match each section's query to fact rows by meaning, not keywords.
