Abbey Specialty Foods of Fairfield, NJ, is recalling Wicklow Gold Cheddar Nettle & Chive 5.2 oz product and Wicklow Gold Cheddar Tomato & Herb 5.2 oz product because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
There is concern that consumers may have the product in their homes because of its long shelf life, which reaches into June this year. The only products being recalled are those on the table above. You can identify these by reviewing batch number, UPC and by sell by date on the back label of the product.
These products had limited distribution in the United States and were sold in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio and Colorado. The few distributors and retailers that received the product have been informed of this possible health risk and have removed the products from their shelves. To date, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse health events due to the consumption of these products.
The recall was initiated after our supplier, Wicklow Farmhouse Cheese LTD. notified Abbey Specialty Foods they were recalling these products due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
