Voluntary Recall of Sheep Milk Cheese Imported From France
FMA International Recalls SAS Fromagerie Ottavi Tome Corse Sheep Milk Cheese Imported From France Because of Possible Health Risk |
Company Announcement: FMA International of Brooklyn, NY is recalling one lot of SAS Fromagerie Ottavi Tome Corse Sheep Milk Cheese, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which 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. FMA International imported a total of one case from the affected lot.
Ottavi Tome Corse cheese was distributed in the state of Oregon to a specialty food distributor. The one case from the recalled lot has since been accounted for and has been subsequently destroyed. It was never sold to any retailers or restaurants.
