The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a recall notice on its website warning of potential Listeria monocytogenes in several cheese products. The FDA's warning was published on September 8, three days after the Ohio-based company behind the cheese announced the recall. That company is Middlefield Original Cheese Co-op, which produces multiple cheese products. Middlefield initiated the recall after detecting Listeria monocytogenes in some of its finished products as well as on cutting equipment surfaces.

Charlotte-based pet food brand Viva Raw has voluntarily recalled two lots of raw pet food due to a risk of contamination with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. Animals that eat the contaminated products can become ill, and pet owners who handle contaminated pet products are also at risk. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a notice of a voluntary recall on Monday. According to the notice, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture identified the potential contamination during routine testing.

The Food and Drug Administration has issued several mushroom-related recall notices after testing revealed Listeria monocytogenes, which poses serious health risks, particularly to vulnerable groups.
