The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners,
are investigating illnesses in a multi-year, multistate outbreak of
Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to queso fresco and cotija
cheeses manufactured by Rizo-López Foods. Rizo-López Foods’ recall
announcement can be found here.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and
sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly
people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy
individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever,
severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea,
Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among
pregnant women. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should
contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to
consume these products and to dispose of them or return the items
to their local store for a full refund. The FDA recommends in these
cases that anyone who purchased or received any recalled products
to use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and
containers that may have come in contact with these products to
reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Listeria monocytogenes can
survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other
foods and surfaces.
The ReadyMeals and store-made taco kits and meals were available
for purchase at the following banner stores: Albertsons,
Carrs-Safeway, Eagle, Lucky, Pavilions, Randalls, Safeway, Shaw's,
Star Market, Tom Thumb and Vons in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont,
Washington and Wyoming.
Consumers with questions should contact Albertsons Companies’
Customer Service Center at 1-877-723-3929 Monday through Friday
from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST.
