A food firm in New York is on notice from the FDA  for serious violations of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation. These violations include the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, mold and more.

Last July, Cooperstown Cheese Company recalled 1,400 pounds of cheese because of positive tests for Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

In a Nov. 24, 2023, warning letter, the FDA described a June 21 through July 28, 2023 inspection of their ready-to-eat (RTE) raw milk cheese manufacturing facility in Milford, NY.
