What should you do with it?
Don’t eat or serve it
FDA says not to eat, serve or sell the recalled cheese. Check your freezer too—not just your refrigerator.
Return it or throw it away
The company notice says you can return it to the place of purchase for a refund, or dispose of it. The notice does not state a universal receipt rule; ask your store if you no longer have one.
Clean where it touched
FDA advises cleaning and sanitizing containers and surfaces that came into contact with the cheese. Follow its outbreak advisory.
Already opened it—or lost the label?
What if I threw away the wrapper?
If you refrigerated or froze cheese without its original packaging and can’t tell whether it is recalled, FDA says to throw it away.
What if I already ate it?
If you ate the recalled cheese and have symptoms of an E. coli infection, FDA advises contacting your health care provider immediately. Its advisory lists symptoms and current guidance.
