In another recall of cheese processed in Wisconsin, Bekkum Family Farms of Westby, WI, is recalling shredded cheese because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
In a news release, Bekkum Family Farms said it was informed by Alpine Slicing & Cheese Conversion, of Monroe, WI, that its cheese was shredded on the same equipment where other cheese had tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Alpine processes and packages cheese for other companies.
The Bekkum cheese has not tested positive for the bacteria, but the product should be thrown away or returned to place of purchase for a full refund, the company advised.
