"Listeria Contamination Prompts Sargento Shredded Cheese Recall in 15 States"

Sargento, a popular cheese brand, has recalled its shredded and grated products in 15 states due to a possible listeria outbreak, affecting food service groups but not retail markets. The recall is linked to a supplier, Rizo-Lopez Foods Inc., and has also impacted numerous other dairy brands. The outbreak has resulted in 26 illnesses, including two deaths and 23 hospitalizations, with cases dating back to 2014. Listeria is a serious infection that can cause fever, muscle aches, and other symptoms, and the CDC warns that the outbreak may not be limited to the known states.
