On June 18, 2026, the FDA reported that Clover Hill Dairy (Mechanicsville, Maryland) expanded its recall to include all Clover Hill Dairy brand cheese because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Clover Hill Dairy products are sold directly from their retail market, at farmers' markets, and through third-party distributors in North Carolina, New York, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. Products may be relabeled under a different brand name when distributed, including but not limited to KESSO, QUESOS LA RICURA, IZALCO, DE MI PUEBLO, and RIO LINDO. Consumers are urged to check the manufacturer information on packages, if available. The label on clamshell containers should identify the Clover Hill Dairy manufacturer permit (or plant) number as "24-128". All Clover Hill Dairy brand cheeses currently on the market are included in this recall. To date, 9 illnesses, 8 hospitalizations, and 1 death have been linked to the soft cheese products. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/clover-hill-dairy-expands-recall-include-all-clover-hill-dairy-brand-cheese-due-possible-health-risk?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
