Morningland Dairy recalls cheese over Listeria and Staphylococcus risk

Missouri-based Morningland Dairy is recalling 68,957 pounds of raw milk cheese it has sold since Jan. 1 because it may be contaminated with Listeria and also potentially Staphylococcus, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The cheese is sold in vacuum-sealed plastic packages throughout the continental United States in retail stores, mail order, crop sharing associations and direct delivery. No illnesses have been reported as yet from eating the cheese, made from unpasteurized cow and goat milk, the FDA said.

Whole Foods announced that it is participating in the recall. Cheese is sold at Whole Foods stores in the Northeast re-wrapped, but labeled with the dairy's name.
