Cheese Listeria Recall Overview: 

• Who: Paris Brothers Inc. is recalling several cheese products sold under different brands 
• Why: The cheeses have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes
• Where: The products were delivered to Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, Mississippi and Florida.

A variety of cheeses sold under different brands in nine states are being recalled as they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Paris Brothers Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri, issued a recall June 1 for several of its cheese products. 

The following cheeses, produced on May 4, 5, and 6, 2022, are affected by the recall: 

• Cottonwood River Cheddar
• D’amir Brie Double Crème French Brie
• Milton Prairie Breeze White Cheddar Style
• Milton Tomato Garlic Cheddar
• Paris Brothers Mild Cheddar
• Paris Brothers Colby Jack
• Paris Brothers Pepper Jack
• Cervasi Pecorino Romano

Shipping cartons with the affected product have the lot codes of 05042022, 05052022, or 05062022. However, individual retail outlets may have relabeled the individual consumer packages, the recall says.

The products were delivered to wholesalers for distribution in grocery stores in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, one store in Mississippi and one store in Florida.

Routine Sampling Uncovers Contamination

The company says the cheeses have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. 

This recall is the result of routine sampling by the FDA, which revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. No illnesses have been reported to date, the company said. 

The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.

Consumers who bought the affected product are encouraged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, the company said.

In April, Whole Foods Market recalled a red lentil dal for potential listeria contamination.
