Food contamination<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Due to a Listeria outbreak and the resulting deaths of two consumers, a selection of dairy products sold by Modesto, California-based company Rizo L\u00f3pez Foods has been recalled.\u00a0 The items were sold in retail stores, such as Walmart, Costco, and Trader Joe\u2019s.\u00a0 The roughly 60 items removed from store shelves range from various salad dressings, salad kits, taco kits, layered dips, queso fresco, and cotija cheese.\u00a0 As early as June 2014, at least 26 people have reported illnesses tied to the consumption of the recalled products.\u00a0 Since December 2023, the investigation was reopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The recently tested sample matches the positive strain of Listeria found in the original investigations conducted within the past ten years, in 2017 and 2021.\u00a0 The Hawaii State Department of Health\u2019s Food and Drug Branch produced the test results and the conclusion that the Rizo Bros Aged Cotija was one of the brands impacted.\u00a0 The CDC later reported that following an FDA investigation at the Rizo Lopez Foods facility, the specific strain of Listeria that was reportedly linked to the outbreak was located on \u201ca container where cheeses are kept before they are packaged.\u201d\u00a0 Costco and Trader Joe\u2019s have urged consumers that have purchased anything from the list<\/a> of possibly contaminated products to discard the items and contact the retailer for a full refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDC has also encouraged customers to thoroughly clean the surfaces within their homes that have come into contact with the recalled products.\u00a0 The bacteria may easily spread to food and is likely to survive refrigeration.\u00a0 As reported within the investigations, Listeria may prove deadly and may lead to infection.\u00a0 Ranked as the third deadliest foodborne illness, the Listeria infection is especially harmful to individuals that are older, pregnant, or immunocompromised.\u00a0 While Rizo L\u00f3pez Foods has issued a voluntary recall, Costco and Trader Joe\u2019s have also recalled all items associated with the outbreak.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
