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]
