La Ceiba Foods Latin Market Inc. recalled Requesón Salvadoreño (Salvadoran Cottage Cheese) and Requesón Mexicano (Mexican Cottage Cheese) products marketed under the La Colonia and Selectos Latinos brands due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The recalled products were distributed to supermarkets, retail stores, and restaurants in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The recall was initiated after La Ceiba Foods was notified by its supplier, Clover Hill Dairy, of a recall after the identification of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination in products manufactured at the facility. Additionally, the FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are investigating a multi-state, multi-year outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to requeson, a soft cheese similar to ricotta, manufactured by Clover Hill Dairy, LLC, of Mechanicsville, MD. Twelve illnesses and one death have been reported to date. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/la-ceiba-foods-latin-market-inc-recalls-cottage-cheese-products-because-possible-health-risk
