The FDA has been notified of additional companies who have issued public notifications or recalls for products linked to the Rizo-Lopez Foods Inc. dairy recall.
Rizo-Lopez cheese has been linked to a deadly, decade-long outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections. As of Feb. 12 there have been 26 patients identified with 23 having been hospitalized and two dead.
The outbreak strain of Listeria has been found in a sample of Rizo-Lopez cheese and at the manufacturing plant. The Modesto, CA, plant has been closed, but many companies used cheese and other dairy products from the plant in their products.
Rizo-Lopez recalled 61 of its products. Secondary recalls include but are not limited to products sold at Costco, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, HEB, Walmart, Safeway and Albertson’s stores. Many other recalls sold under a variety of brand names including but not limited to Dole, Ready Pac, Fresh Express and Taylor Farms, are also under recall. Some of the products have ling shelf life, reaching into June and July.
Additional recalls are likely because of the wide use of the Rizo-Lopez products. The Food and Drug Administration continues to update its list of recalled products linked to the nationwide outbreak. For the list of recalled products as they are added by the FDA, as well as photos of some recalled products, click here.
As of Feb. 12 the recalled products are:
