A state official is warning consumers, especially in Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, to not eat certain Queso Fresco, Fresh Cheese products made by Mexicali Cheese Corp. because of possible listeria contamination.
The product affected is in a rigid 14-ounce plastic tub that displayed the plant number 36-0128 and a code of 071512 and is labeled "Mexicali Queso Fresco Mexicano, Mexican Style Fresh Cheese" or "Acatlan Queso Fresco, Fresh Cheese."
An inspector from the Division of Milk Control and Dairy Services took a routine sample of the cheese on June 20, 2012, that later tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail, or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, officials said.
The manufacturer voluntarily recalled the product.
