is voluntarily recalling “HEB Queso Cotija (Grated)”, “El Viajero Queso
Quesadilla (Shredded)”, “El Viajero Queso Cotija (Grated)”, and “BMF Queso
Quesadilla (Shredded)” 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. |
