The cream cheese was distributed in Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and New York City area by direct delivery to retail stores and distributors. No illnesses have been reported to date. The recall was the result of a company-wide routine sampling program that revealed a part of the mixer used to manufacture finished products was contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The company has ceased production using the mixer in question and removed it from service. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/made-fresh-salads-inc-recalls-assorted-flavors-cream-cheese-because-possible-health-risk
